Oh, thanks for the hint. Is there a better way while using getmail or would you consider it as a complete wrong approach using it for our purpose? We were using fetchmail at another similar environment before and I had the feeling that getmail would fit better as it has better options.

The one recipient which received the full mail was still using the windows based fetch tool, not getmail

Alright, I will try to get it reproduced with more logging enabled

Good catch, seems like it wasn't getmail, good to know. Hopefully I will be able to  find out more when it will happen again with increased logging.
