Thank you for that one, Oron. I never got through that man page (it's soooo long). But it seems like I'm going to complain in fetchmail's own mailing list soon.

That's really weird. From fetchmail man page (this section worth reading in entirety):

Well, you probably don't know me. This was discovered during tests on dummy mails, of course. I wouldn't think about running an untested system on real mails.
This is a bug worth investigating (on some dummy mails... don't loose more)

And this is where we reach the philosophic question: How do you know? ;)Something is obviously amiss. In the last 2 years of using fetchmail to drop messages into my mailbox I have never experienced this.
Seriously, odds are that you never had the SMTP server down while fetching mail. Tried my case specifically? Most daemons don't simply die, so this misbehaviour may never show up.
These guys report that the SMTP refused to accept mail, and that fetchmail considered it spam as a result. I don't think it's fetchmail's job to kill spam mail, but it's not the issue here. Maybe I should send a posting to the list, after all.
Note that other people have experienced this though:

Thank you guys, Eli
