Fetchmail is working normally, the problem is that there is a syntax error in the mail's headers that $MTA is complaining about. Most of the time, when I get that message, it is spam with the received header and contents immediately preceeded by "Return-Path". If you want to know which RFCs to read, try 1913, 2821, and 2822. -- Seneca seneca-cunningham@rogers.com
