Hi, I put "set no spambounce" in my "fetchmailrc" file, in order to avoid bouncing mails each time I rejected a mail because it contained a .pif file (as comented in another thread). That worked, the bounce is directed instead to the local postmaster (ie, me), but it has an unforeseen side effect: that the rejected mail itself is not flushed from the server: Sep 6 11:19:35 nimrodel fetchmail[4044]: SMTP>. (EOM) Sep 6 11:19:36 nimrodel fetchmail[4044]: SMTP< 550 Error: "*** DOS/WIN executables rejected ***" Sep 6 11:19:36 nimrodel fetchmail[4044]: SMTP error: 550 Error: "*** DOS/WIN executables rejected ***" ...

If not, it will leave rejected mail in the POP server, undeleted, and fetched and rejected again every cicle (I have "fetchall" activated for other reasons) o or left unremoved for ever; that lead me to think I was getting 50 of those per hour :-( Which leaves me with another problem: how to tell postfix NOT to send emails comming from fetchmail-daemon, because as I don't have a real domain they get rejected at the other end, of course. And they are useless, those people did not send those email with .pif files. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
