Did fetchmail send a bounce previously? Encounter other difficulties?
There's a similar bug report in the Debian BTS, and before I switch off
SIGPIPE (which means fetchmail sent data over a connection that had been
closed by the peer), I'd rather fix things up so that fetchmail doesn't
send too much data.

Please try fetchmail 6.2.9-rc7 <http://fetchmail.berlios.de/> and see if
the problem is gone, and let us know what you've found.

Just in case, the package is mirrored at
<http://home.pages.de/~mandree/fetchmail/>
