How about this? Is this better?

Aha, an undamaged posting!

TI sent my original posts from my home pc's not the servers that I'm having
the trouble with. That screwy header info is cause by my mail server getting
it's ip and host name from my isp. I haven't figured out how to tell my
server not to take a host name from my isp's dhcp server but that's for a
different mail list.

With dhcpcd it's a case of making sure that you're NOT using one of the command line options (-h I think). With dhclient there's an option for the config file to tell it to override the provided hostname. Let me know which you're using and I'll provide fuller details.

Please tell me what info you'd like me to pass along to diagnose this
problem. I can actually get the offending mail by using my pop3 client to
get it directly from the domain-pop. If this would help I'll attach one of
these problem emails to my next submission.

A copy of your .fetchmailrc and version of fetchmail are a good start. A run of fetchmail using "fetchmail --nosyslog -v -v" for a mangled email and a copy of that mangled email would be useful. If anything appears in the mail logs for that email those log entries too.


 Please DO NOT send me ANY email directly unless it's a privacy issue.
      Reply-to mangled to assist those who don't read the above.
