package fetchmail
tags 353575 confirmed
thanks
Roger,
I can confirm the problem. There are some areas in fetchmail that do
not handle real NULL envelope senders properly, and the problem is
apparently not SDPS specific.
As a quick workaround, I am attaching a patch that is entirely
untested. Please apply to 6.3.2, recompile, reinstall and let me know if
the problem persists or is fixed.
(packager maintainers, I'm not tagging "patch" yet as I'm not sure if
it's the real patch or will change)
Thanks,
