On Sun, 03 Mar 2002, Rob MacGregor told this:

I have a couple of spamtrap addresses and even though I have no set no
bouncemail, fetchmail will forward these mails to the postmaster.

I do have postmaster set as a couple of my users subscribed to the
same lists and there seems to be no delivered lines in the incoming
mails for these lists so fetchmail forwards them to the set
postmaster, I have a maildrop script setup to forward these to them.

How do I stop the spamtrap emails coming through.

Check the settings of your mail server, it may be responsible for
this.



What happens is that the email server  refuses it:
F=<****(_at_)*******(_dot_)de> rejected RCPT <spamtrap(_at_)tcob1(_dot_)net>: 
Unrouteable address


Fetchmail then sends a messages back to the original sender and sends a
copy to the postmaster as per the .fetchmailrc. I want to stop the
latter behaviour if possible
