Rob et al,
I have now traced one of my problem messages with fetchmail -v -v and this is
what I get
fetchmail: POP3> LIST 7
fetchmail: POP3< +OK 7 8568
fetchmail: POP3> TOP 7 99999999
fetchmail: POP3< +OK headers follow.

Clearly the address which fetchmail is submitting to the SMTP server in the
MAIL FROM command is broken. Of course the question is what was the origial
like. The problem is that I don't know as the message has now been deleted.
Before this I removed the antispam option from my fetchmailrc file. However
the email is still being deleted even though it was not delivered or
non-delivered. Is that behaviour correct?
Any more clues?
Thanks,
Gary
