I have logged directly into my popmail server (yahoo) via the web and find 
that the spam message isn't being repeatedly sent - the same message is 
causing a problem over and over.  Yahoo tagged it as spam and put it in my 
bulk mail folder on their site.  When fetchmail retrieved messages, it would 
apparently have problems with that message and send me the error message 
email instead of the actual spam.  

I am not sure why...is there a way to fix fetchmail so it wont do this 
anymore?  Instead of having a problem with a message and sending me a 
bazillion error messages every time it sees the undelivered/undeliverable 
message/spam, can I not just set fetchmail to dump the message?  

If I had not logged directly into the yahoo webmail site and deleted the spam 
message there, fetchmail would continue generating that annoying message 
forever, procmail would have had to process that same message forever, and 
yet the original message would still exist on the server.  For the moment, I 
have elected to turn off yahoo's spamguard and let my system handle the crap 
and hope that whatever the problem was, it will now be handled properly and 
directly on my end.
