A few things to note. 1) This mail is almost certainly a Trojan Horse as Microsoft do not send out patches by email. See http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/default.asp?url=/technet/security/ policy/swdist.asp. I would recommend you DO NOT open it. 2) The parse error occurs when any of the addresses in the mail are malformed. You could set the logging level to debug so that the ParseException is recorded. If your ISP supports browsing mail (WebMail), you could examine the mail's headers to confirm that it is in error. 3) fetchmail will have assigned this mail a status of undeliverable and processed message according to the settings of the <undeliverable> tag in the config. It was NOT delivered. > 25/09/03 23:09:42 INFO fetchmail.one.net: Attempting > delivery of message > with id. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > 25/09/03 23:09:42 INFO fetchmail.one.net: Ignoring recipient > header.

As explained above, mail will be treated as undeliverable if any of the addresses fail to parse. The value of ignorercpt-header= does not affect this. > Should I be worried for any reason? About fetchmail no, about the contents of the failing mail, yes. -- Steve --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
