Continuing saga of dupilcate mails using fetchmail-6.2.5-6 in FC3

Today while trying to get mails from my mail server I keep getting socket errors.
This causes fetchmail to refetch mail from the server over and over again with
the same mails. This is despite my adding expunge 10 to my .fetchmailrc file.
I use syphlheed as my mail reader. Luckily it has an option to delete
duplicate mails. It has two accounts. The default account is set up to read mail
from /var/sppol/mail. I have another account that will directly fetch mail
from mail.comcast.net. If I use this account I do not go through the
sendmail, procmail which filters out spam and viruses but it will get through
the area where the dupilcate mails occur. I prefer to use that account
so that reads the mail from sendmail to take advantage of the smam and 
virus checking. Why does using sendmail seem to hang up on the duplicate mails
but reading directly from mail.comcast.net seems to get through the
duplicate mail problems?. It seems strange to me.
