7.2 fetchmail smtp error 250

1 Sep 2001

      It seems that with every new release, I have to get by one problem with
a 'simple' application, before I can go on to explore the new
functionality and toys.  Today, it's fetchmail that's got me bugged.

I'm using the same .fetchmailrc that worked so well in 6.4 and 7.1, yet
for every mail retrieve attempt, I'm getting a series of messages
resulting in a '250 2.0.0 reset state'.

Here's an example:

fetchmail: POP3> RETR 22
fetchmail: POP3< +OK 27806 octets
reading message 22 of 24 (27806 octets)
fetchmail: SMTP> MAIL FROM: SIZE=27806
fetchmail: SMTP< 451 4.1.8 ... Domain
of sender address list-bounce@mailer.remote.arrl.org does not resolve
fetchmail: SMTP> RSET
fetchmail: SMTP< 250 2.0.0 Reset state
fetchmail: SMTP error: 250 2.0.0 Reset state
.......................... not flushed

Name resolution is working.  I can 'nslookup' or 'dig' any of the sender
domains successfully, so I don't understand the reason for the 451.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?
