I'm using fetchmail to collect email for my domain, and for the most part
it works wonderfully.  Inevitably, some of the email addresses I've used to
communicate with various organizations have fallen into the hands of
spammers, and I'm trying to use the sendmail access database with
FEATURE(`blacklist_recipients') to reject those recipient addresses.
Unfortunately, while fetchmail handles 550 returns from ruleset check_mail
(the envelope sender) nicely, it seems to have problems when 550 is
returned from ruleset check_rcpt (the envelope recipient).  Specifically,
rather than sending a single bounce and flushing the message, it sends two
bounces and doesn't flush the message.

Am I right that your fetchmail version is 5.8.11 or older?

I'm afraid not - I'm using 5.9.11.
