I was under the impression that recv() bugs had been twiddled in 1.3.10... Or did the changes in recv() not address MSG_PEEK?

I did not notice any corruption issues with my fetchmail build - but then, I did not transfer much more than a few megs of mail (around 25MB, I think).

Well, the reason I tried maildrop was that, after searching the mailing list (and I do recall finding the message you refer to, for instance), I found that you had to install BIND to build procmail. I also like the Courier suite, and intend to have a go at it later. :)

I'm also not entirely sure that fetchmail is not the one inserting (or handing over, or whatever) the extra blank line upon mailbox creation (appends work fine...). I'll have to check later.

Anyway, if you've been using fetchmail + procmail since September, what's keeping it from being added to the packages list? :) Is it the BIND issue?

(I'd be glad to lend a hand, mind you...)
