I Nico,

I *do* care about the RFC, but spammers obviously succeeded in sending
email that does not.

If they do it again, my fetchmail will stop working again until I
manually remove the offending mail from the POP3 server once more.
.
Fetchmail not being able to cope with the invalid "_" in the domain name
effectively opens up for remote DOS attacks against any fetchmail driven
email reception.

I really think you should consider opening this bug again.
