Hi folks,

I am using fetchmail 5.9.13 with exim 4.10. I get a lot of spam for
users who don't exist, ie 1028829088(_dot_)b562f4(_at_)tcob1(_dot_)net 
(which was a
msgid). However, when fetchmail whe it hits exim says:

reading message 1 of 4 (23538 octets) .fetchmail:
SMTP error: 550 unknown user ..................... not flushed

I editted the 550 out of the antispam list. 

Fine. So what is your question again? 

What is wrong with that?

How did you configure fetchmail to achieve this?

What do you expect fetchmail to do instead?

Okay, I should have continued :)

I used to have Fetchmail bouncing them to the original sender, okay
99% of the time the bounce will bounce but that is no problem, it will
end up in my bit bucket.

My config is:

set idfile /ftn/bbbs/.idfile
set postmaster sean(_at_)tcob1(_dot_)net

poll pop3.uklinux.net proto pop3 uidl timeout 60
envelope 1 "Received:"
aka s1.uklinux.net localdomains tcob1.net ,tcob1.uklinux.net
user USER pass PASSWORD to * here smtphost bsod.tcob1.net antispam -1 flush


I have tried removing the postmaster option but that still does not
cause Fetchmail to the the fetchmail-daemon bounce message, even if I
do a antispam 550, it ends up in my mailbox :(
