fetchmail crashes



Fetchmail has been crashing on me recently.  The error is:


fetchmail: reading message 11 of 120 (2244 bytes) . (log message incomplete)
fetchmail: SMTP error: 501 <@adam.ist.flinders.edu.au> : colon expected after 
route
fetchmail: SMTP error: 501 <mark> : sender address must contain a domain
fetchmail: SMTP transaction error while fetching from adam.ist.flinders.edu.au


In the header of the offending email is:

Sender: "Ole J. Tetlie" <>

Leading me to suspect that this is the problem.  I have emailed Ole
asking him to fix his configuration, however I think it strange that
such a small mistake should bring down fetchmail.  Perhaps a warning
message would be appropriate, but as a result of the crash, I can't
access any of the rest of my emails unless I manually log onto a
computer at uni and delete the offending message!

Any comments/ideas?

Thanks,

Mark.
