Hello -
I run FreeBSD 3.2-release, and I also have fetchmail v5.0 installed.
Fetchmail hangs for a while and is unable to retrieve any further messages
if Sendmail issues (roughly) the follwing output (while retrieving mail
via POP3):
Sendmail: reject: 501 - Sender domain must exist
I understand that this is most likely an anti-spam feature. The problem
is that the offending message is not deleted from my mail server
after the error is given... thus I can't view any messages which occur
after it. This problem is repeated in subsequent fetchmail attempts.
Is there a way to keep the anti-spam features enabled while overcoming
this problem? Is it in fact an anti-spam issue, or am I missing
something else?
I have read the relevant man pages, without success. Please let me know
if more details are needed.
Once again, thanks in advance for your consideration.
Adrian Henke
