I feel foolish. I admit to having been caught off guard by this one.
When I switched to qmail on my workstation, I began pulling mail via
fetchmail just fine using my existing configuration, and have thought
no more of it. However, I do note a lot of bounces in the logs for
various and sundry reasons, of which I also think little because of
the volumes of mailing list traffic I receive.
Please forgive my ignorance, but will the need for forcecr vary
depending on the sending MUA, or upon the POP server from which I'm
retrieving (which in this case is the UW POP3)? (In other words, have
I been selectively bouncing mail because of this?)
