Additional info:
This is likely not a Fedora-specific problem. Thus I'd like to ask you to participate upstream to help getting this fixed for all distributions. There is a bug already; see https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?18367 The upstream maintainer is looking for somebody who find a good way to reproduce it (I've seen the problem myself in the past, but only very sporadically) Note that there is mail-notification 4.1 in updates-testing; it should land in update-proper with the next push. Try that one please as well.
I will test the latest (just received it over yum) and report back. Thanks for the help
