Hi!

When I use fetchmail, I inevitably get messages saying that the
message was not the expected length:

fetchmail: POP3> TOP 1 2147483647
fetchmail: POP3< +OK 4161 octets
fetchmail: reading message 1 of 1 (4161 bytes)
fetchmail: about to deliver with: /usr/bin/procmail
/etc/procmailrcs/procmailrc
#******************************************************************************)
fetchmail: message 1 was not the expected length (4274 != 4161)
fetchmail:  flushed
fetchmail: POP3> DELE 1
fetchmail: POP3< +OK

This causes many problems because this is being fetched from a
multi-drop box.  When I get this error message, I find that each
incorrectly sized message has the next message concatenated to it
and the From header has been mangled to a >From line.  I have
tried going through the diags in the FAQ for fetchmail.  This is
running on a RHL 5.1 system.  Any ideas are greatly appreciated.
My users would appreciate their mail, and their privacy!  How do
I get fetchmail to get the messages correctly from the pop3
server?

Kevin
