Hi,
While troubleshooting a password issue I ran into some odd behaviour of
fetchmail, which might be of interest :)
I'm running postfix 2.0.0, and fetchmail version:
This is fetchmail release 6.2.0+POP2+RPA+SDPS+SSL+OPIE+INET6+NLS
Fallback MDA: (none)
FreeBSD my.host.org 4.6-STABLE FreeBSD 4.6-STABLE #5: Tue Aug 20 11:07:25
CEST 2002 nivo(_at_)my(_dot_)host(_dot_)org:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/AMOR i386
As fetchmail tries to send it's error message, the following happens:
Out: 220 my.host.org ESMTP Postfix Who do you want to mail today? (2.0.0.2)
In: EHLO localhost
Out: 250-my.host.org

Out: 250 Ok
In: Date: Sun, 26 Jan 2003 23:19:30 +0100 (CET)
Out: 502 Error: command not implemented
Session aborted, reason: lost connection
The line that throws me the most, is the last received line by Postfix from
fetchmail.
Why would fetchmail proceed with sending headers when all recipients have
failed ?
