Is this fetchmail doing this or whatever fetchmail is handing the mail on to
which is rejecting it. I think fetchmail will not delete any mail that it
cannot hand on. There is one exception to this (I think - not tried it) but
if the MTA it is handing mail on to says it thinks its spam, then fetchmail
can delete it.
I have found occassionally a single mail gets left stuck at my ISP. I have
since changed my fetchmailrc file to use the fetchall option Thus:-
poll pop3.blueyonder.co.uk no dns proto POP3 tracepolls interval 4
aka blueyonder.co.uk
localdomains chandlerfamily.org.uk libdebate.org
user "x" password "x" forcecr is * fetchall
