I wasnt' getting nervous about the duplicate mails, it was about the
misconfiguration. :-)

Well, it's two other messages now, but that of course doesn't matter.
Headers are attached...

I like logic. :-)

Hm. As a matter of fact, I have the same polling lines from my
.fetchmailrc in /etc/fetchmailrc, but I thought this wouldn't matter,
since I have "no keep" at the end of those lines? Doesn't "no keep" mean
to delete mail at the server once retrieved?
In any case: you're right. Fetchmail is running twice. I don't
understand, however. I don't have a startup script for fetchmail in the
rc-directories... rcconf shows that too, so why does it run as user
"fetchmail" too? :-s
Whatever the reason is: thanks a lot! I'll leave those headers for what
they are, since undoubtedly, the problem is solved now... Now I'll only
have to find out what makes it run twice.
Greets,
Tom
