I really like postfix + fetchmail apart from the 571 issue.
Postfix reports rejects from its access.db after the RCPT TO: rather
than the MAIL FROM: bit. This causes soem problem with fetchmail, as
it will send the bouse message, then try to forward to postmaster,
which fails, because its not a local problem (postfix again rejects
the sender) ! Fetchmail then exits,
fetchmail: Query status=10 (SMTP)
leaving the offending mail on the server, ad infinitum. Huum maybe
this is postfix problem ....
On the premise that I feel happier hacking fetchmail, I end up with
the somewhat ugly patch v 5.5.5.
