email server keeping email


I have a mail gateway setup with fetchmail so it checks every 15 minutes if there's new mail on the accounts and downloads it the the local accounts, but I noticed sometimes mail will stay stuck on the server (the fetchmail one) instead of being downloaded in the client inbox. This is VERY bad since I can loose client emails that way. Once in a while I go in the settings with webmin, but it's not something I regularly do so lost emails will remain there until I find them with webmin.

Is there a reason why this happends, and is there a way to stop it?


Also, I noticed if I send an email to an invalid host, it will bounce the message into the root account, but I want it to bounce back to the original sender. How can I do that?
