Actually, it seems to be better now. I think what was actually doing it was that my firewall was checking for "unclean" packets with this rule: iptables -A INPUT -i $EXT_IF -m unclean -j log_unclean But apparently this is broken in the 2.4.14 kernel, which I just happened to upgrade to. What happened as a result was that my firewall kept blocking a whole heap of "unclean" packets. I think that this may have been stuffing up fetchmail by making it resend the messages. But I could be wrong. The thing is that it seems to have gotten better after I got rid of this rule in the firewall. And I haven't changed my /etc/postfix/main.cf, fetchmailrc, or .procmailrc files from what they were when it was still happening. Hmmm????? Cheers. Mark.
