Indeed you should. However, look for "softbounce" in the manual page, it is on by default in fetchmail versions >= 6.3.10 and < 7.0.0 (not yet released) to avoid mail loss. --nosoftbounce on the command line, or "set no softbounce" early in the .fetchmailrc will cause fetchmail to delete such messages (I should add a pointer to that section). I will add a pointer to these options to the quoted section, though, to appear in v6.3.25. HTH Matthias Thank you for the reply. I've forgotten that I'm actually subscribed to fetchmail-users. Anton
