[fetchmail] qmail/fetchmail compatibility

2003-01-06 02:35:40
Due to the security issue, I just upgraded my fetchmail from 5.1.2
to 6.2.0.  fetchmail will now not run, giving me this:

fetchmail: The QMAILINJECT environment variable is set.
This is dangerous as it can make qmail-inject or qmail's sendmail wrapper
tamper with your From: or Message-ID: headers.
Try "env QMAILINJECT= fetchmail YOUR ARGUMENTS HERE"
fetchmail: Abort.

fetchmail and qmail have coexisted on this system for a long time.
I need to use the QMAILINJECT variable, because I use a dynamic IP
address, and don't have a globally defined hostname.

The suggestion in the error message doesn't make sense, since "fetchmail"
will be interpreted by qmail as character commands.

How can I make these two work together?
Thanks.
