[fetchmail]fetchmail and assp

2004-07-19 09:54:55
Hello,
I have fetchmail forward mail to a bayseian mail classifier, assp (anti-spam smtp proxy). One of assp's features is to block messages with executable attachments. If one is found, it rejects the message and returns an status code of 500 to the sender (fetchmail). Apparently assp closes the connection after returning the error message since signal 13 (broken pipe) is raised in fetchmail. At which time fetchmail terminates. It looks like this happens on the next connection attempt with assp.
  Is there some way to have fetchmail re-connect with assp rather than abort?


fetchmail: reading message moe(_dot_)james(_at_)localhost(_dot_)sma(_dot_)com:2 of 2 (42695 octets) fetchmail: SMTP error: 500 Executable attachments are not allowed -- Compress before mailing.
fetchmail: SMTP listener refused delivery
fetchmail:  flushed
fetchmail: 1 message for cherie at localhost (5458 octets).
