[fetchmail-users] Fetchmail 6.3.7+NLS not deleting one specific message from server

[Chris <cpo...@ea...>]

I reported this back on the 11th of March, since then I've upgraded to what I 
understand is the latest version. Looking at the required information for a 
problem in the FAQ I'll try to provide it:

   1. Your operating system

Mandrake Linux 10.1 (Official) kernel 2.6.8.1-12mdk

   2. Your compiler version, if you built from source; otherwise, the name and 
origin of the RPM or other binary package you installed.

gcc (GCC) 3.4.1 (Mandrakelinux 10.1 3.4.1-4mdk)
(hopfully this is whats being asked for, this came from my config.log)

   3. A copy of your POP or IMAP server's greeting line.

220-elasmtp-masked.atl.sa.earthlink.net ESMTP Exim 4.34 #1 Tue,
20 Mar 2007 20:22:57 -0400..
220-NO UCE.  EarthLink does not authorize the use of its computers or 
network..
220 equipment to accept, transmit, or distribute unsolicited e-mail..
(I hope the above is whats wanted)
                                       .
   4. The name and version of the SMTP listener or MDA you are forwarding to.

      Procmail 3.22

   5. Any command-line options you used.

     I usually just use $fetchmail -m procmail

   6. The output of fetchmail -V called with whatever other command-line 
options you used. (I've added in the -v -v -v yesterday evening)

[chris@cpollock ~]$ fetchmail -V -v -v -v -m procmail
This is fetchmail release 6.3.7+NLS.

delete it.

One other thing of note, 

Mar 19 15:07:17 localhost spamd[22069]: dkim: lookup failed: DNS query timeout 
for _policy._domainkey.localwebshopping.com 
Mar 19 15:11:25 localhost spamd[22069]: dkim: lookup failed: DNS query timeout 
for _policy._domainkey.localwebshopping.com 

The above was logged every time fetchmail poll'd the server. I doubt whether 
its a fetchmail problem but maybe someone can give me a clue as to what may 
be the cause. The happens very seldom but when it does the bad message blocks 
all other message downloads except itself.

Thanks, and I hope I provided the correct information above. If I didn't 
someone please let me know what I should have included.

Chris
