Not those of us using fetchmail:

Mar  3 03:07:44 nimrodel fetchmail[18653]: SMTP> MAIL FROM:<> SIZE=7317


I use header-checks, it works:

Mar  3 03:07:44 nimrodel postfix/cleanup[14749]: 7C263B6EC7: reject: 
header From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Mail Delivery System) from 
localhost[127.0.0.1]; from=<> to=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> proto=ESMTP 
helo=<nimrodel.valinor>: 5.7.1 20070303 stupid bouncer!

And using imap, the fetching is cancelled:

Mar  3 03:07:44 nimrodel fetchmail[18653]:  (6395 body octets) (log message 
incomplete)
Mar  3 03:07:44 nimrodel fetchmail[18653]: IMAP< )
Mar  3 03:07:44 nimrodel fetchmail[18653]: IMAP< A0008 OK FETCH complete
Mar  3 03:07:44 nimrodel fetchmail[18653]: SMTP>. (EOM)
Mar  3 03:07:44 nimrodel fetchmail[18653]: SMTP< 550 5.7.1 20070303 stupid 
bouncer!
Mar  3 03:07:44 nimrodel fetchmail[18653]: SMTP error: 550 5.7.1 20070303 
stupid bouncer!
Mar  3 03:07:44 nimrodel fetchmail[18653]: SMTP listener refused delivery
Mar  3 03:07:44 nimrodel fetchmail[18653]: SMTP> RSET
Mar  3 03:07:44 nimrodel fetchmail[18653]: SMTP< 250 2.0.0 Ok
Mar  3 03:07:44 nimrodel fetchmail[18653]:  flushed

It is slow, though.
