The mail is eventually delivered but on a busy day this can take several hours. In the evening...

A user uses fetchmail via an ssh tunnel to download mail via pop3 every 5 minutes. This normally works fine. perhaps once a week or so, maillog shows that Postfix delivers a message while fetchmail is retrieving. Here is one such. Apr 8 19:07:20 sbh...
