Drops it or queues it? I suspect the later. Occasionally if fetchmail
delivers a load of messages at once exim will queue them up for
delivery (I think 10 minutes later, but this is
configurable). Personally, after a large fetchmail session, I use the
"/usr/sbin/runq" command to flush them and deliver them to me
immediately.
