[Fetchmail-users] $16 question about --bad-headers

[Gene H. <ghe...@wd...>]

Greetings;

Using a fetchmail thats only a couple months old, built from your tarball,

I just had to set, from a restart on the command line giving it the 
--bad-header accept option in order to clear and retrieve an obviously C&C 
message from a bot controller, or something similar.

The header really was bad:

Followed by about 23.5kb of what looked to be base64 encoded crap. 
Image,virus, c&c, I have no clue.

Does anything in that look familiar to you folks? I haven't cleaned it up.

Thanks.

Cheers, Gene Heskett
