Bruno,
Sorry about the lack of response. On a related issue, it seems your yearly
support contract to the mailing list has run out. Please send US$5,000 and
we'll get right on it. (Hint: no one owes you anything. Relax.)

I don't know of any other FM.

Who knows? It certainly doesn't sound like a qmail problem.

I'll assume you mean *5*.4.4.
> qmail version: 1.03 release 9
I'll assume you mean Bruce Guenter's RPMs of qmail+patches, since there's no
``release 9'' of qmail. It's just qmail-1.03.

My system is:
fetchmail-5.3.1-1
qmail-1.03+patches-12
qmail-smtpd-1.03+patches-12
My fetchmailrc is:
poll jericho.gospelcom.net proto pop3 user pcg password my_password
forcecr fetchall
All I can tell you is that it works for me.
You might try integrating one of the CRLF-fixing utilities (fixcrio from
ucspi-tcp, I think, or fixcr from Bruce Guenter's RPM) into your qmail
startup scripts. See the qmail home page.
