I'm getting repeated email (KMail) error messages about one apparently over-large post:

It looks to me like a cron job on helen.gayleard.com attempting to fetch mail from mail.eircom.net encountered a message larger than the limit set in the local .fetchmailrc file. The oversized message should be at mail.eircom.net in whatever mailbox fetchmail was configured to poll at that server.
