Fetchmail didn't bounce it. Postfix did. He configured his fetchmail to feed it into postfix (which is the suse norm) and he configured postfix to use black-holes. One normally does not fetchmail and then feed it into the MTA. Only suse does this. One normally fetches mail and hands it off to the MDA such as procmail or cyrus or whatever. The mail has already been delivered to its final address at post.strato.de when he decides to pop that fetchmail and treat it like it was still in transit. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
