[fetchmail-users] getting better error messages out of fetchmail

[Ian! D. A. <id...@id...>]

My web host has some SMTP spam blocking in place; so, certain messages
that I fetch from other places are not accepted there.  I'm finding it
awkward to make fetchmail give me just the right amount of detail about
the messages that are being rejected.

Here are some captured fetchmail sessions I run at my web hosting provider
(a cPanel site):

    2 messages for someuser at somehost.com (29755 octets).
    reading message som...@so...:1 of 2 (26357 octets) fetchmail: SMTP error: 550 Administrative prohibition
    fetchmail: SMTP listener refused delivery
     flushed
    reading message som...@so...:2 of 2 (3398 octets) flushed

Another one:

    reading message oth...@ot...:1 of 1 (598 octets) fetchmail: SMTP error: 451 Temporary local problem - please try later
     not flushed

Another one:

    1 message for someuser at somehost.com (3155 octets).
    reading message som...@so...:1 of 1 (3155 octets) fetchmail: SMTP error: 550 Sender verify failed
    fetchmail: can't even send to id...@id...!
      flushed

Can fetchmail tell me just a bit more detail about the userid that was
being processed (and refused/rejected), without me having to turn on
full verbosity for all email fetching?  I'd like to see the userid that
is causing the "Administrative prohibition" and "Sender verify" errors,
without having to make all my sessions fully verbose.

Also, the output is a hard to read, with the SMTP error in the middle of
another line of output, appearing just before "flushed" or "not flushed".
