getmail 4.3.4 unhandled expression

D

djemmers

hi
We have an (old) freebsd server running that needs replacing (busy with that)
but now suddenly getmail doesn't get our mails anymore (wich is not good for any business)
the mails are still on our providers server.
we get them through a simplepop3retriever

getmail version: 4.3.4

when I give the command to get the mails manually I get:

Code: 
faber@freebsd$ getmail -r /root/.getmail/2go

But I don't understand anyting about that.

to be complete I went to the mails using webmail (it is a catch all adres) and there I looked at the oldest mail (my guess is that that mail is the first to be downloaded.
and what do you know, it is a spam message:

Sir,

RE: INSTRUCTIONS TO CREDIT YOUR BANK ACCOUNT WITH US$750,000.00

We at this bank wish to congratulate and inform you that after thorough
review of your unpaid funds in conjunction with the World Bank Auditor’s
report, your payment file was forwarded to our bank for the immediate
transfer of a first installment amount of US$750,000.00 to your bank
account.

The Auditor’s reports shows that you have been going through hard times by
paying a lot of money to see to the release of your funds, which has been
delayed by some dubious officials that dealt with you in the past.

We therefore advice that you stop further communication with any other
group, individuals or institutions, since you do not have to pay any money
or transfer fee to receive your funds as you have met up with the whole
funds transfer requirements.

Should you follow our bank’s directives, the first installment amount of
US$750,000.00 will be credited and reflect in your bank account within 3
to 4 bank working days.

For further information on this funds transfer notice, kindly send to me the
following:

(1) Your Full Name:
(2) Phone, Fax and Mobile Number:
(3) Company Name, Home Address:
(4) Profession, Age and Marital status:

Yours sincerely,
Mr Williams Baron
Barclays Bank Plc, UK
