Re: [fetchmail] Problem with Received From address rewriting (happened again)

2003-04-21 17:33:50
Mailbox was clogged again today by an email with what appears to be a
malformed received from address. If I am not providing enough
information, sending this problem to an incorrect list, or if I am just
really stupid and should kill myself please let me know.

Thanks again

This is an example of the error which was causing fetchmail to die
today. I had to telnet into my isps mail server and manually delete the
emails(5) that were causing this problem.

--- error ---
fetchmail: forwarding to localhost
fetchmail: SMTP> MAIL
FROM:<Received:fromssymail(_dot_)ssy(_dot_)co(_dot_)kr(_at_)mail(_dot_)bigpond(_dot_)combya231242(_dot_)upc-a(_dot_)chello(_dot_)nlwithlocal;Apr>

fetchmail: SMTP< 501 Bad address syntax
fetchmail: SMTP error: 501 Bad address syntax
gethostbyname failed for dhcp-63-1
--- error ends ---

I have no idea wether this is a misconfiguration of something by me but
I suspect it isn't. I have kept a copy (txt format) of one of the HTML
format spams that caused this particular hiccup and a -vv log also if
you want to see it and will be happy to post them to this list if anyone
is interested.


Thanks for your assistance
