    You can also tell fetchmail to use a different mda for a single session
    to pipe it through a procmail for those troublesome messages. Something
    like:
            fetchmail --mda /usr/bin/procmail
    IIRC

    Check the fetchmail info for exact syntax and warnings about
    restrictions on the MDA.
