Package: fetchmail
Version: 6.3.9~rc2-3
Severity: grave
I'm running lenny/testing and have fetchmail fetching mail from pop3 mailboxes
and
passing it to exim (packages exim4, exim4-base, exim4-config and
exim4-daemon-light
all version 4.69-6).
fetchmail has just lost 3 out of 10 messages. I think because the From address
in the message is malformed.
Fetchmail needs to be able to deliver messages with malformed From addresses.
The From line is quite likely to be malformed as the pop3 server uses the SMTP
envelope From address when placing the message in the pop3 mailbox.
In fact the pop3 server recorded the envelope-from address in the received
line it added.
If fetchmail can't get a valid From address by parsing the message it should
make
one up (e.g mailer-daemon@localhost).
