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
