Hi!

An invalid spam mail effectively disables fetchmail:

9 messages for blah at blah (160821 octets).
reading blah:1 of 9 (102393 octets)
fetchmail: incorrect header line found while scanning headers
fetchmail: message delimiter found while scanning headers
flushed
fetchmail: client/server protocol error while fetching from blah
fetchmail: Query status=4 (PROTOCOL)

Is fetchmail serious by quitting?? Why doesn't it just download all the
other mails? Today I found 290 mail in my inbox which were not downloaded
because mail #197 was invalid. Is fetchmail kidding me?

And why is it unable to handle that particular mail? Any other mail client
can handle it.

I run fetchmail as daemon in background and don't get any notification when
such things happen. The only notification is that I don't get any mails no
more.

fetchmail sucks.
