I have configure Fetchmail 5.9.6 on OpenBSD 2.9. I am using it in
conjunction with Postfix. I have created an access database with various
senders addresses which we want to block as spam. I have intered
"REJECT" into the database instead of a custom error code and message.

In fetchmailrc I have the following options;

    set nobounce
    set nospambounce

Drop 5.9.6, and switch to 5.9.11. This bug has been fixed there.


Compile time options for Fetchmail are;

        --disable-nsl --enable-inet6 --with-ssl --with-kerberos

There appeared to be a problem with the Makefile in intl which was hand
edited to corect the entry around line 210 to the following:

# The dependency for intlh.inst is different in gettext and all other
# packages.  Because we cannot you GNU make features we have to solve
# the problem while rewriting Makefile.in.
#YES#intlh.inst: intlh.inst.in ../config.status
#YES#   cd .. \
#YES#   && CONFIG_FILES=$(subdir)/$@ CONFIG_HEADERS= \
#YES#     $(SHELL) ./config.status
.PHONY: intlh.inst
intlh.inst:

and then continued to build the program. This error was not experienced in
5.9.6.


bash-2.05# fetchmail -V -f /tmp/.fetchmailrc
This is fetchmail release 5.9.11+SSL+INET6
OpenBSD APA-Server.albanyport.com.au 2.9 ALBANY-PORT-AUTHORITY#0 i386
Taking options from command line and /tmp/.fetchmailrc
Idfile is /root/.fetchids
Progress messages will be logged via syslog
Fetchmail will forward misaddressed multidrop messages to lmoore.
Options for retrieving from 
isp-username(_at_)mail(_dot_)omninet(_dot_)net(_dot_)au:
  True name of server is mail.omninet.net.au.
  Protocol is auto.
  All available authentication methods will be tried.
  Server nonresponse timeout is 180 seconds.
  Default mailbox selected.
  All messages will be retrieved (--all on).
  Fetched messages will not be kept on the server (--keep off).
  Old messages will not be flushed before message retrieval (--flush off).
  Rewrite of server-local addresses is enabled (--norewrite off).
  Carriage-return stripping is disabled (stripcr off).
  Carriage-return forcing is disabled (forcecr off).
  Interpretation of Content-Transfer-Encoding is disabled (pass8bits on).
  MIME decoding is enabled (mimedecode on).
  Idle after poll is disabled (idle off).
  Nonempty Status lines will be kept (dropstatus off)
  Delivered-To lines will be kept (dropdelivered off)
  Messages will be SMTP-forwarded to: localhost (default)
  Host part of MAIL FROM line will be albanyport.com.au
  Recognized listener spam block responses are: 571 550 501 554
  Multi-drop mode: 1 local name(s) recognized.
  DNS lookup for multidrop addresses is enabled.
  Server aliases will be compared with multidrop addresses by name.
  Envelope header is assumed to be: Received
  Predeclared mailserver aliases: mekon.omninet.net.au
  Local domains: albanyport.com.au


The contents of the configuration file being used:

bash-2.05# cat !$
cat /tmp/.fetchmailrc
set postmaster "lmoore"
set properties ""
set syslog

defaults
        pass8bits
        mimedecode

poll mail.omninet.net.au timeout 180 protocol AUTO:
        aka mekon.omninet.net.au
        localdomains albanyport.com.au
        envelope 0 Received
            user isp-username there with password isp-password is * here
        smtpaddress albanyport.com.au fetchall

and now for output from the syslog entries after running fetchmail
--invisible -v -v -v -f /tmp/.fetchmailrc is in the attached log file.

In addition to this I created an entry in my postfix file to reject my
e-mail address with a 553 "reject" message which if I understand
Fetchmail's man page should not elicit a bounce either, however, it
certainly bounces the message back to the sender.

Have I really ballsed up my configuration!?

Cheers,

Larry.
