Consequently the log about the assignment of LOGFILE goes to stderr. Move the VERBOSE assignment to below the LOGFILE assignment and this (harmless, spurious) error from getmail should go away. (The contents of the log file are irrelevant in this particular instance, as they all happen after the [not-really-an-]error has already occurred.)
