Hi,
I wonder if you could help me with this problem.
I have a dial up connection and I am using fetchmail to get the mail from a
POP3 mailbox and I am using postfix as the local SMTP server and all this is
running on RedHat 9.0.
In general my email is getting through but I do get the following errors in my
mail logs.
Jul 18 13:25:51 exodus postfix/smtpd[25020]: warning: Illegal address syntax
from unknown[127.0.0.1] in MAIL command:
<column-greekthoughts-return-23-gary=garysims(_dot_)co(_dot_)uk(_at_)lists(_dot_)Received:
(qmail
21055 invoked from network); 18 Jul 2004 07:09:56 -0000>
It is about a message which I am expecting... I am guessing the error is
occuring when fetchmail talks to postfix to submit the message for local
delivery.
Looking at the "illegal address" it is clear that the Received line is mixed
in with the address.
2 questions:
1) Where do these "dead" emails go as I guess they can't be non-delivered as
they are not legal/correct.
2) What is causing the problem!!!
Any clues would help,
Thanks,
Gary
