Since tonight, I'm suffering from "message [...] was not the expected length" errors. I see it on one mailbox on my ISP (the other mailbox is unaffected though), and it makes fetchmail completely fail to retrieve mails from the mailbox concerned. I tried my ISP's webmail, and could access my mailbox without any problems. I deleted the whole contents of the mailbox, in the hope that it was one particual mail causing the problem. Unfortunately, on the first mail which arrived, the problem was there again. I have this problem with both fetchmail from sarge (6.2.5-12sarge3), and with self compiled fetchmail 6.3.1. Here's part of the output of an /etc/init.d/fetchmail debug-run: fetchmail: 6.2.5 querying pop.pandora.be (protocol POP3) at Fri 23 Dec 2005 07:24:18 PM CET: poll started fetchmail: POP3< +OK pop s`maHegdelS fetchmail: POP3> CAPA fetchmail: POP3< -ERR not implemented fetchmail: not implemented fetchmail: Repoll immediately on use...@po... fetchmail: POP3< +OK pop s`maHegdelS fetchmail: POP3> USER username fetchmail: POP3< +OK 1332 fetchmail: POP3> PASS * fetchmail: POP3< +OK .. welcome fetchmail: selecting or re-polling default folder fetchmail: POP3> STAT fetchmail: POP3< +OK 1 4693 fetchmail: POP3> LAST fetchmail: POP3< +OK 0 1 message for username at pop.pandora.be (4693 octets). fetchmail: POP3> LIST 1 fetchmail: POP3< +OK 1 4693 fetchmail: POP3> TOP 1 99999999 fetchmail: POP3< +OK 4693 octets reading message use...@po...:1 of 1 (4693 octets) About to rewrite Return-Path: <coo...@ma...> Rewritten version is Return-Path: <coo...@ma...> About to rewrite To: co...@ma...
