Okay, we're getting closer to a solution. (Thank you!) I had no_bouncemail set in fetchmail's global config file (came that way by default) and also 'set antispam' to a value of -1 (also default) So I poked at the man page some, commented out no_bouncemail, so fechmail_daemon is no longer spamming me (local postmaster) with the error, *but* I don't know what syntax it wants for values of 'antispam'. The smtp command timeout *is* still quietly showing up in exim's log. I know that 'antispam' is referring to the smtp return-values, and I figure I want it set to 5## This will make fetchmail hard-refuse (ie "return to sender, quit trying to deliver this here") any message that causes a 5xx SMTP error... yes? And I suspect that a value of -1 means "never match anything"... yes? So am I right in thinking that 'set antispam 5##' is what I want? And if so, what's the right syntax for matching any 5## response? Apologies if this is in the docs... I did take something of a look at them... but I did not see an answer to this. Thanks -Chris
