Correct. It prints a specific error message to stderr, including some info on the message it failed to process, and what the error was. > So getmail will not tell you that one of the e-mails has failed to deliver. I'm not sure I follow you here. getmail printed its error to stderr, which is the normal way for a program to indicate a nonfatal error. What do you expect getmail to do other than this?
