I use fetchmail on a given machine, to get mails from a private server, and
feed it to a public SMTP/POP server :
I read the FAQ, the manpage, especially the paragraph SPAM FILTERING :
The fetchmail code recognizes and discards the message on any of a list
of responses that defaults to [571, 550, 501, 554] but can be set with
the ?antispam¹ option. This is one of the only three circumstance under
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
which fetchmail ever discards mail (the others are the 552 and 553
errors described below, and the suppression of multidropped messages
with a message-ID already seen).
I cannot succeed in bouncing back refused messages to the originator ( `set
spambounce`) even to the postmaster (`set no bouncemail`)
I played with `spambounce` and `bouncemail` with no success. Anyway the key
word, as indicated in manpage is `antispam -1`
I simply can't understand what's wrong. This fetchmail handles hundreds of
accounts, and it _must_ bounce.
Thanks for any help
Here is my config :
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
[fetchmail]% cat .fecthmailrc
set postmaster postmaster(_at_)injep(_dot_)fr
set no bouncemail
set spambounce
defaults protocol pop3 smtphost valinor.injep.fr antispam -1
poll private.server
