Greetings Mathias;

The bump was a msg that landed in the inbox at imap.shentel.net. no 
subject, no body, no from address, from the debian listmail server. 
at about 6:53 EDT.

That convinced fetchmail it had an error 7, and exited that invocation 
without fetching any more msgs.  Wash, rinse and repeat at 2 minute
intervals till shentel and I figured it out a few seconds after the
log entry below.

log looked like this:

ov 05 11:42:32 fetchmail: 54 messages for [email protected] at imap.shentel.net.
Nov 05 11:42:33 fetchmail: reading message [email protected]@imap.shentel.mail2world.com:1 of 54 (2182 header octets) (log message 
incomplete)
Nov 05 11:42:33 fetchmail: client/server synchronization error while fetching from [email protected]@imap.shentel.net
Nov 05 11:42:33 fetchmail: Query status=7 (ERROR)

I finally logged into the webmail, saw that funky msg and deleted it, 
which unplugged the drain  and it fetched the other 53 msgs ok.

Unforch the log is all I could salvage. Is this helpfull?

Thanks.

Cheers, Gene Heskett.
