Write a preconnect command in your configuration file that does something like "date >> $HOME/Procmail/fetchmail.log".

Use --limitflush to delete oversized mails along with +the --limit option. If you are already having +flush in your rcfile to delete oversized mails, +replace it with limitflush to avoid losing mails +unintentionally.

The --flush option is primarily designed to delete +mails which have been read/downloaded but not deleted yet. This option +cannot be overloaded to delete oversized mails as it cannot be guessed +whether the user wants to delete only read/downloaded mails or only +oversized mails or both when a user specifies both +--limit and --flush. Hence, a separate +--limitflush has been added to resolve the ambiguity.
