Dear Eric,
Thanks for the continuous help. I have relaxed chkuser in the
way that it will not check mails from certain servers.
And why was that deemed necessary? Perhaps there is another method of
achieving the goal here without accepting these malformed addresses.
You've already said that these malformed messages are not wanted by the
client. Sounds to me like "relaxing chkuser" the way you did simply
traded one problem for another. :(
Apart from this
issue there is no problem at all. Tomorrow i shall have a try on this
fetchmail setting. I shall update if worked properly. Mean while, if
there is any way to handle this with fetchmail please advise me.
As I've said, I don't know fetchmail that well off hand. You can always
try asking on the fetchmail users list. I know there is one. You can
google for it.
Thanks and Regards,
S.Senthilvel,

Dear Eric,
The client needs almost all the mails sent to them. So the
primary server has a relaxed chkuser. This cause the main server to
receive such mails. But while using fetch mail, the qmail-inject needs
to be invoked no?. So that this error occurs.
It will be great even such mails are bounced by the
fetchmail. Because this error causes the rest of the emails struck in
the mail box of the users.
After reading the man page of the fetchmail, i found 'set no
spambounce' option in the fetch mailrc. Will changing it to " set
spambounce " will helpful in this issue?(Bounce back mails having
improper format instead of taking it to qmail inject)
That might do it for you. I don't know fetchmail that well. Give it a try.
When you say 'relaxed chkuser', what do you mean exactly? How'd you relax
it? Perhaps you relaxed it too much when another alternative, such as a
catchall account, would have been more appropriate. I would also look at
this possibility.
Thanks and Regards,
S.Senthilvel.

Dear list,
We are using qmail toaster in a local server. ie, fetch mail
will fetch mails from the main server and distribute the mail to the
qmail users. The out ging mails are routed via the main server using
smtproutes.
The problem is, when a mail is having misplaced or improper or
unclosed or unopened < or >, the rest of the mails also cant fetched.
The fetch mail log tells like that,
fetchmail: 1 message for u...@domain.com at serverip (188763 > octets).
qmail-inject: fatal: unable to parse this line:
To: "user_\" <user"@mydomain.com>,
""@senderdomain.com
fetchmail: reading message user"@mydomain....@serverip:1 of 1
(188763 octets) (log message incomplete)fetchmail: error writing
message
text
fetchmail: MDA error while fetching from user"@mydomain....@serverip
fetchmail: Query status=6 (IOERR)
as a temperory solution, we use outlook to directly download the mail
from main server. But this continues for more than 20 users per day.
Is there any way to permanently fix the issue?
Thanks and Regards,
S.Senthilvel,
Let's start over on this. I didn't look closely enough the first time.
The problem is that qmail-inject chokes on a malformed address line. So
my
question is, how'd those malformed addresses get received in the first
place? I'm guessing they're all coming from a very limited number of
sources, like probably just a handful at the most, and quite possibly
just
one, like a web application perhaps??
Where are they coming from?
How does the address become mangled?
P.S. I don't think the problem is with fetchmail.
