Thanks for your replies. I tried systemctl stop fetchmail.service
I tried 4 times. then I tried
/etc/init.d/fetchmail stop
but although dead for 6 hours, fetchmail continued to fetch mails.
So I tried
root@titan ~ ps -ef | grep fetch
fetchma+ 1264 1 0 Sep25 ? 00:06:33 /usr/bin/fetchmail -f
/etc/fetchmailrc --pidfile /var/run/fetchmail/fetchmail.pid --syslog
root@titan ~ kill 1264
And the fetchma+ process disappeared - I hope it no longer rises from the
dead.
