I have found that changing back to smail fixed the problem, but I now
believe the problem is those annoying mail's from "gecm". they caused
fetchmail to use "MAIL FROM: <@pop.es.co.nz>" whereas the others came as:
"MAIL FROM: <debian-user-request@lists.debian.org>"
Is there a way to stop smail doing that, or how can I configure exim to
allow that form of address?
--------------
fetchmail: forwarding to localhost
fetchmail: SMTP> MAIL FROM:<@mail.es.co.nz> SIZE=5379
fetchmail: SMTP< 501 <@mail.es.co.nz> : colon expected after route
fetchmail: SMTP error: 501 <@mail.es.co.nz> : colon expected after route
fetchmail: SMTP> MAIL FROM:<root> SIZE=5379
fetchmail: SMTP< 501 <root> : sender address must contain a domain
fetchmail: SMTP error: 501 <root> : sender address must contain a domain
--------------
from the above I now realise that the "MAIL FROM:<root>" is fetchmail's
error handling? the above is from exim's try, smail says @pop.es.co.nz is
a valid sender address. (mail.es.co.nz and pop.es.co.nz are the same
host.. do a nslookup on them)
Thanks again, I guess the real question now is how to configure exim to
allow these annoying occurences :)
