Is there a fetchmail.timer unit as well as a .service unit? Or, could
you have a crontab entry that is invoking it?

I use getmail with various getmailrc files started by cron.
Perhaps OP did that with fetchmail and forgot.

You might also
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 /u
Hi, have you try
/etc/init.d/fetchmail stop
?
Cheers,
