the past thread was about fetchmail(all versions) choking on the D-U
list because the list was issuing bad header. Is your error with all
mail? The problem was noted to be that fetchmail tried to deliver mail
locally with sendmail/exim and sendmail/exim verified the email headers
and returned an error back to fetchmail. Then fetchmail choked.
Once answer was to stop the header verification.
