What should I change to not receive this warning with the mail attached in a message.txt file ?

" CORRUPTED MESSAGE (...) The following message contains 8-bit content, but does not have the required MIME headers for 8-bit data transport. "

Nearly all the mail I receive are in HTML and then are not readable in text format.

Upgrade to courier 0.37.3, and then put the following line in the /etc/courier/bofh file:

opt BOFHBADMIME=accept

and restart courier.

I am using fetchmail for fetching mail on pop servers and I redistribute them with this rule : poll pop.ibelgique.com user "xxxxxx" pass "xxxxxx" is my_local_account Is it possible to send them directly to maildrop and without receiving this warning (CORRUPTED MESSAGE) ?

Well, yes this is another solution. If you pass all incoming mail directly to maildrop, it will not go through courier's rewriting process. Put the following in your fetchmail config:

mda "/usr/lib/courier/bin/maildrop"
