Well.... by itself ... yes you are right. | fetchmail is a mail-retrieval and forwarding utility; it fetches | mail from remote mailservers and forwards it to your local (client) | machine's delivery system.

The real question is who's bus is this. If this is bug on Debian package which is a bit too tight than what RFC allows, please file bug report on Debian. If this is non-RFC complient bug, maybe complain to ISP or Zimba POP3 server developer. ... > Now that I understand, the MUA can be changed to send just > one blank and interact with the ISP POP3 directly again. I think your usage of MUA is not a typical one. MUA is mutt, thunderbird, ... not POP3 server. Osamu -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
