I have never seen the above error message.

I have been successful using the the following .fetchmailrc file:

set logfile /var/log/fetchmail.log
set invisible                       # suppress "Received:" line fetchmail adds
set no bouncemail

poll "my.server.net"                # *** change as appropriate ***
protocol pop3
username "MyUserName"               # *** change as appropriate ***
password "MyPassword"               # *** change as appropriate ***
fetchall
nokeep                              # delete successfully received
messages
mda "/usr/local/bin/procmail -d %T" # pass message to the local MDA

Is your .fetchmailrc file similar to the above?
