Please refer to the following oss-security post that describes a denial of service vulnerability in fetchmail: http://seclists.org/oss-sec/2010/q2/76

fetchmail 6.3.17 will contain a fix for this issue but is not released. So perhaps the port maintainer can apply the proposed patch to our port (which is at 6.3.16)?
