[fetchmail]searching a fix - fetch blocked

2002-06-05 02:29:21
Hallo fetchmail-friends,

Is there a fix available for the following problem:

Messages with invalid addresses are not fetched, e.g.
1.
Return-Path: <"¹ß½ÅÀü¿ë"@test.com>
2.
Return-Path: <"blb(_at_)languagebridge(_dot_)com(_dot_)cn 
<blb"@languagebridge.com.cn>

This is blocking fetchmail.
I was out of office for a week and today I have a log file with about
1.000.000 lines of 'not flushed' messages.

If I understand this right, the mails are not fetched and so they are
also not deleted.  I'm getting such a dammned spam once a week and
always the same problem, fetchmail cannot fetch it and also all the
following mails are not fetched.

Two kinds of fetch would be possible, fetch all regardless of the
Return-Path: entry or fetch all but the wrong Return-Path: mails.

Any help appreciated (I want to go on vacation and in this time there
will be about 10.000 to 20.000 Mails to be fetched and if it blocks the
first day I will get trouble with my ISP;)
