I did reload postfix. I've actually tried with and without commenting out
the /var/spool line.

So...I just commented out the "/var/spool/mail" line again, did "postifx
reload" and ran fetchmail again.

It still shows up in /var/spool/mail/john.

If it matters, Mandrake9.2

Confusedly,
john


if it helps here's the fetchmail output:
