[fetchmail] SIGPIPE if smtpserver rejects mail (multidrop -> smtpserver)

Hello everyone,

I am using fetchmail 6.2.2 (compiled with --enable-fallback=sendmail other 
opts are standard...) and get the following error:
------snip

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

fetchmail options:

/usr/local/fetchmail/bin/fetchmail --postmaster 
arndt(_dot_)faulhaber(_at_)diagnosdata(_dot_)com -d 90 -v -f /etc/fetchmailrc 
-L 
/var/log/fetchmail

(aahhhhh this --postmaster option made all mails to be delivered to me - I 
tried it also without...)

linuxdist:
   suse 8.0 with kernel 2.4.18

/etc/fetchamailrc:

poll yyy.zz
        proto pop3
        user "xxx"
        pass "***"
        is * smtphost 10.1.1.10 smtpaddress yyy.zz

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This problem also occured using fetchmail 5.9.0 (that originally shipped with 
suse 8.0). I found a couple of messages reporting this problem, but :( didn't 
find any answers that fixed it...

Thanks soooo much,
Cheers, Arndt
