Is it possible to change the behavior of fetchmail so that it

Sure, don't configure any anti-spam codes. Quoting the man page:
Well, I haven't. I also didn't build it, I'm using a Debian binary. Is
it possible that antispam actions were hardcoded in the build? Otherwise,
I would have expected the default behavior I desire.
Try "fetchmail -V -v -v" to find out.
If that's not what you want, don't use a 5xx series code for temporary
failures!
I do need a permanent (or at least persistent) failure from this particular
sender, as the content is actually dealt with by a process on the IMAP
server.
And what prevents the IMAP server process from sieving the message into
a separate folder that fetchmail isn't polling?
