Messages from a Debian developer are messing up my combination of sendmail and fetchmail.
His Sender field has an empty email address: Sender: "Ole J. Tetlie" <> which sendmail rejects: Nov 28 15:10:27 linda sendmail[17997]: PAA17997: ruleset=check_mail, arg1=<root>, [EMAIL PROTECTED] [193.195.30.1], reject=553 <root>... Domain name required fetchmail sees the failure and aborts the whole session: reading message 47 of 62 (1217 header bytes) .fetchmail: SMTP error: 553 <@mail.enterprise.net>... User address required fetchmail: SMTP error: 553 <olly>... Domain name required fetchmail: SMTP transaction error while fetching from mail.enterprise.net so that mail is blocked until I telnet to the ISP with pop-3 and clear the offending message by hand. I would like to get fetchmail to bounce rejected messages properly and continue, or else stop sendmail rejecting them. I cannot see how to do either. Can anyone tell me how, please?
