Yes.  Look for a "limit" option for the server or user in quesion in
your ~/.fetchmailrc file.  Either set this to "0" or use a "-l 0" on
the fetchmail command line.

Also note that your ISP may have a message size or mailbox size limit.
It's possible they're not rejecting messages (which they should as soon
as the SMTP server sees the "size" command or receives the message and
determines that a 452 or 552 error should occur) but truncating them
instead.
