Re: SMTP --> IMAP information loss

[Arnt Gulbrandsen]

1. The berkeley separator line is just that - a separator line. It's not 
part of the message, and cannot be, because it's not valid according to 
either RFC 822 or 2822 syntax.

2. If you'll cast a glance at RFC 2821 page 50, you'll see that when an 
SMTP server performs so-called "final delivery", ie. delivery into a 
mailstore instead of to another SMTP server, it is required to store 
the envelope sender as a return-path header field.

3. It does seem rather wrong for you to be inserting mail into SMTP and 
directing the error messages at someone else. If there is a problem 
between your fetchmail and the next delivery of the message, where 
should the error report go? IMNSHO, you and only you.
