[fetchmail-users] Fetchmail incorrect header yahoo

[Andrew B. <re...@co...>]

I'm have lots of problems and I can't diagnose. Every now and then yahoo 
screws with things on their end, so I'm not even sure it's my problem. 
Everything was working fine about a week ago till I got a leaderless 
email message. I deleted it thinking everything was cool, but after that 
fetchmail wouldn't get anything from yahoo. The worst part was that it 
would delete the mail from the yahoo server, so I'm not even sure how 
many emails I lost.

I'm using FreePOPs 0.0.99, and fetchmail-6.3.8 (using the source to 
test, but was using the ubuntu package for feisty).

Here's the fetchmail log from yahoo down:
Code:

fetchmail: 6.3.8 querying localhost (protocol POP3) at Sat 25 Aug 2007

08:08:53 AM CDT: poll completed
fetchmail: not swapping UID lists, no UIDs seen this query
fetchmail: Deleting fetchids file.
fetchmail: normal termination, status 0
fetchmail: Deleting fetchids file.

My /etc/fetchmailrc file reads as such:
Code:

###################### BEGIN re...@co...########################

poll pop.gmail.com port 995 proto pop3
user "ma...@gm..." password "YouDon'tNeedThis" ssl is "c9rescue" here

poll pop.gmail.com port 995 proto pop3
user "mad...@gm..." password "YouDon'tNeedThis" ssl is 
"c9rescue" here

poll localhost port 2000 proto pop3
user "re...@ya..." password "YouDon'tNeedThis" is "c9rescue" here

###################### END re...@co...##########################

A bit redundant, but /var/log/mail.info shows (NOTE: This was with 6.3.6 
ubuntu package, not the source as listed above):
Code:

Aug 25 07:42:06 sulaco fetchmail[28834]: starting fetchmail 6.3.6 daemon
Aug 25 07:42:08 sulaco fetchmail[28834]: 1 message for re...@ya... 
at localhost (1024 octets).
Aug 25 07:42:09 sulaco fetchmail[28834]: reading message 
re...@ya...@localhost.localdomain:1 of 1 (1024 octets) (log 
message incomplete)
Aug 25 07:42:09 sulaco fetchmail[28834]: incorrect header line found 
while scanning headers
Aug 25 07:42:09 sulaco fetchmail[28834]:  flushed
Aug 25 07:42:10 sulaco fetchmail[28834]: sleeping at Sat 25 Aug 2007 
07:42:10 AM CDT for 300 seconds

Freepops is NOT setup for chroot jail.

I also tried setting sslproto ssl123 in the fetchmailrc file so it 
wouldn't try to upgrade to TLS, but this didn't help.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as a majority of my mail goes 
through the yahoo server. BTW, fetching gmail servers work fine.
