Resend, with more odd data from fetchmail.log appended.
Just for a heads up, for about the last 8 hours, verizon, my ISP, has been
inserting themselves into the path between my gmail account and my local
fetchmail of this email subcription at pop.gmail.com.
Worse yet they are bouncing the messages in a way that makes it look as if I
sent them when they in fact originated at vger.kernel.org. Somehow they have
convinced themselves that any mailing list this busy must be spam and is to be
bounced. Either that or they, verizon, since they sleep with M$, have taken a
large under the table payment to screw with linux in any way they can. It
bears investigating.
I called just now and screamed bloody murder at tech support, and in about 15
minutes I started getting the list again, BUT they are still in the path
between vger and my fetchmail daemon as shown below.
Or at least that is how I am interpreting the incoming headers, which now look
like this by the time they hit my inbox but with my SA headers clipped:

Right here I see that google forwarded your mail from their (google)
server sending to the bizmailsrvcs.net (verizon) server, and VZ didn't
jump in the path, google put them there.

Most likely cause is that you forwarded mail from google to verizon,
which is probably a bad thing on many levels.
Not Verizon's fault.
