Some SPAM has badly formed headers that trip up POP. You can log onto the
system with the bad mail file and use pine to clear it.

I am using fetchmail to collect my mail and store it on my server. I
currently have three other PC's connect on this LAN. I have Qpopper
installed to allow me to access the mail on one of the other PC's if I
want.
Fetchmail has been gathering mail from SPAMCOP.net for me for several
months without incident. I have a user named spamcop that fetchmail
feeds the mail from SPAMCOP into.
Something has happened to that folder. Qpopper will no longer access it.
This is the log entries in the /var/log/messages file:

Boss is the name of one of my other PC's.
I used pico to check out the spamcop file, and it came up with a message
stating: File Has Long Line. I do not know what that means. I tried
copying the file to a new name, clearing out the old file and copying
the contents back, but Qpopper will still not access it.
I have temporarily moved the contents to a new file and cleaned out the
original. Qpopper is again accessing the file.
What could be wrong with the file, and is there anyway that I can fix it.
There is quite a bit of mail in it and I would rather not lose it. I
have been reading it via the console, but that is not what I want to do.
Thanks!
