fetchmail: SMTP< 552 Header line is ridiculously overlong

[Jiri Baum <jiri@baum.com.au>]

Hello,

recently, fetchmail refused to fetch and deliver a particular message,
claiming it got an SMTP error (from exim). Upon switching it to verbose, I
found the error message is:
  fetchmail: SMTP< 552 Header line is ridiculously overlong

I can go read it manually from the POP server, but is there anything I
could do to help avoid such trouble in the future?

(Other than unsubscribe from debian-security-announce, of course.)


TIA

Jiri

We'll know the future has arrived when every mailer transparently
quotes lines that begin with "From ", but no-one remembers why.
