I'm having problems stopping fetchmail from bouncing messages back to the
sender. I am using the "set no bouncemail" in the .fetchmailrc file, but it
doesn't seem to work. Or, maybe it doesn't do what I think it should.
My situation is this: I am using fetchmail to check my mail, and then
forward a copy of everything to my cell phone email address (so I get a text
message on my cell phone containing the sender and 1st 100 or so characters
of the message whenever I get email). This works fine, and I do get the
messages on my cell phone.
The problem is, lately my cell phone email account has been giving some
"connection reset" errors to sendmail, and then sendmail sends "Warning:
could not send mail for past 4 hours" messages back to the original sender.
I don't want the original sender to get these bounce error messages from my
cell phone address, so I tried enabling the "set no bouncemail" option, but
sendmail still bounces the messages.
Is there any configuration option that I can use to disable this bouncing
behavior? What I would really like is to have sendmail bounce the errors to
the local postmaster account.
