Re: [fetchmail]5.9.11 error in open_smtp_sink ("sink.c")

Joe Hagen <jdhagen(_at_)chorus(_dot_)net>:

I believe there's a problem in the 5.9.11 build.

The function open_smtp_sink in "sink.c" contains 
a variable declaration at line 621:

   int force_transient_error;

which is not explicitly initialized to 0.

This was causing the messages without a valid recipient
to be bounced, but the messages would remain on the 
server because the variable had a random non-zero value.

Simply changing the line to:

   int force_transient_error=0;

will resolve this issue.

Good fix, thanks!
