How do I avoid this?

fetchmail: reading message
postmaster(_dot_)paradigm-omega(_dot_)com(_at_)mail(_dot_)paradigm-omega(_dot_)com:1
of 4 (1902 octets)
fetchmail: SMTP error: 450 <sales(_at_)smoking(_dot_)com(_dot_)net>: Sender 
address
rejected:
Domain not found
fetchmail:  not flushed

Radical suggestion - RTFM and search the list archive.

The key phrase is spam :-)


Well, since I ran into this:
This is a feature, not a bug.


Any 4xx response (like 451) indicates a transient (temporary) error. This 
means that the mail could be accepted if retried later. Lookup failures are 
normally transient errors as a mail should not get rejected if a dns server 
is unreachable or down.

I suppose there is no way to tell fetchmail to behave differently.  I don't 
consider that lack of flexibility a feature.
