I've taken a couple of stabs at this, but don't see how to accomplish
it. I've put it straight into the file, and after the polling line.
I've also tried it as "set antispam -1"

that's how I got here . . .
it produces a .fetchmailrc of
# Configuration created Wed Aug 16 21:55:01 2000 by fetchmailconf
set postmaster "hawk"
set bouncemail
set properties ""
set daemon 2
poll email.psu.edu with proto POP3
user reh18 there with password [censored] is hawk here options
mimedecode warnings 3600
smtphost smtp.psu.edu
I'm [EMAIL PROTECTED], but hawk on the local machine. I'm not seeing
anything wrong here.
The log from the test is:

*certainly* not be involved--and what's it doing messing with receipts?
