Fetchmail doesn't fetch bogus mail (and also all others are not fetched)

["Gerrit P. Haase" <gp at familiehaase dot de>]

Hello again,

This is a bug report.  Fetchmail cannot fetch some kind of special 
mails and also it doesn't fetch the rest from my POP3 server (Qmail).

Unfortunately I have no FTP access to the server so I can just fetch 
the mail via telnet.

Please see the details below.

1. Your operating system:

$ uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-4.0 IOKASTE 1.3.10(0.51/3/2) 2002-02-25 11:14 i686 unknown

2. Your compiler version, if you built from source; otherwise, the 
name and origin of the RPM or other binary package you installed:

$ cygcheck -c fetchmail

3. A copy of your POP or IMAP server's greeting line:

$ telnet mail.server.de 110

   options you used:

Fetmail cannot fetch the first message, and also not the following
messages.

I tried to execute (as suggested some days on this list):

$ fetchmail -v -v

Now, nothing happens for a long time...


So, now I need to connect the server again via telnet and delete the
first message to get fetchmail to fetch the rest.  

What else can I try to debug this?
'fetchmail -v -v' does nothing...

I'll wait now for a reply because as I tried to reproduce this issue 
it was not possible to convince my SMTP server to retrieve such a 
mangled message, so I let this in the queue for testing.


Regards,

Gerrit
