[Fetchmail-users] message size error in fetchmail

[Chuck C. <cam...@ac...>]

Networksoliutions (my email provider) just changed some things, and fetchmail no 
longer works to pop my mail. I get message length errors. I don't know how to 
resolve this. This configuration had been working perfectly for years (date in 
.fetchmailrc is from 2000) until last week.

I'm putting some segments of verbose logging here:

This repeats for all the unseen messages, and I get no emails.
Here is the .fetchmailrc:
