what happens after you reject the mail? Where does it go to? If everything works fetchmail should bounce the message back to the sender. In other words: rejecting with fetchmail probably makes you a backscatter source.
Ah...
The mail has already been accepted by you (precisely, the provider accepted the mail for you). So you should only reject mails when you receive them directly via smtp. After the mail has been accepted you can only discard or tag and deliver it.
The reason why you did not become a backscatter source in this case is the empty sender address <>, so the mail could not be bounced (again) and was discarded anyway.
Mmmm...
Still, I suggest you use the action DISCARD instead of REJECT. If the next mail you want to reject with such a header_check is NOT the empty sender address <>, you WILL become a backscatter source with REJECT.
You are right. Well, in any case, my backscatter would have "nimrodel.valinor" as the source, so it serves them right if they do accept it! ;-P Probably my subconscious mind chooses "reject" as a way of punishing them... Ok, ok, I'll start reviewing my config O:-) - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
