sendmail check_mail ruleset
Messages from a Debian developer are messing up my combination of
sendmail and fetchmail.
His Sender field has an empty email address:
Sender: "Ole J. Tetlie" <>
which sendmail rejects:
Nov 28 15:10:27 linda sendmail[17997]: PAA17997: ruleset=check_mail, arg1=<root>, relay=root@linda.lfix.co.uk [193.195.30.1], reject=553 <root>... Domain name required
fetchmail sees the failure and aborts the whole session:
reading message 47 of 62 (1217 header bytes) .fetchmail: SMTP error: 553 <@mail.enterprise.net>... User address required
fetchmail: SMTP error: 553 <olly>... Domain name required
fetchmail: SMTP transaction error while fetching from mail.enterprise.net
so that mail is blocked until I telnet to the ISP with pop-3 and clear
the offending message by hand.
I would like to get fetchmail to bounce rejected messages properly and
continue, or else stop sendmail rejecting them. I cannot see how to do
either.
Can anyone tell me how, please?
Versions:
sendmail 8.9.1-9
fetchmail 4.3.9-1
