Unfortunately, you haven't shown your configuration file yet.
I suspect you're using a wildcarded multidrop configuration.
Here is my /etc/fetchmailrc:

#Old mail server
poll popn.c2i.net protocol POP3
user zzzz there has password xxxx, is [EMAIL PROTECTED] here

#current ISP server
poll mail.broadpark.no protocol POP3
user aaaa there has password aaaa, is [EMAIL PROTECTED] here



Perhaps this setup isn't the smartest? Still, it'd be nice if fetchmail would delete successfully delivered messages
when exim goes sour. That would at least avoid message multiplication,
although I would probably not get any mail through if all the x first
messages are bad.  That'd be a exim problem though, not a fetchmail fault.

Looks like I solved the problem by making exim accept 100 bad messages
instead of just 4 before giving up.  Still a DOS waiting to happen.
