I use fetchmail to get my email off my SIMS server, and recently I got this message from fetchmail


fetchmail: reading message [EMAIL PROTECTED]:1 of 68 (224 octets) fetchmail: message delimiter found while scanning headers

% telnet southgaylord.com 110

+OK Stalker POP3 Server 1.8b9d14 at southgaylord.com ready <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

and then everything was fine, and fetchmail retrieved all the messages.

How did this happen? How can a invalid message be written to the mailbox? How do I prevent it happening again?
