Hi, My fetchmail brings mail from a POP3 server. None of you will be surprised that there are a bunch of spam emails waiting for me. The problem is that some of those spam messages come from an unresolvable sender domains. This causes a very significant delay for each message, and what's worse, the messages stay on the server and the delay happens every time, and it presumably gets worse as more problematic spams accumulate there.
Here is a bit of a fetchmail -v trace: fetchmail: SMTP> MAIL FROM:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> SIZE=2406 fetchmail: SMTP< 451 4.1.8 Domain of sender address [EMAIL PROTECTED] does not resolve fetchmail: SMTP error: 451 4.1.8 Domain of sender address [EMAIL PROTECTED] does not resolve fetchmail: SMTP> RSET fetchmail: SMTP< 250 2.0.0 Reset state not flushed I use fetchall as the only non-default user option. Using "no dns" as a server option does not change anything. Any ideas how to clean the queue on the server without risking losing an important email? I read the docs, I searched the web... What am I missing? I am on Fedora Core 4 on x86_64: $ rpm -q fetchmail fetchmail-6.2.5.5-1.fc4 $ rpm -q sendmail sendmail-8.13.7-2.fc4.2 -- Oleg Goldshmidt | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.goldshmidt.org ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
