Ok, This is doing my head in, i've been going round and round with this and cant see a solution. Fetchmail refuses to download emails that the dns doesnt resolve on; output: "fetchmail: SMTP error: 451 4.1.8 Domain of sender address bev@XXXXXXXXXXX.com does not resolve" Right so I tried using the nodns flag in my fetchmailrc file... tried both; "poll XXX with no dns user XXX pass XXX" and "poll XXX with nodns user XXX pass XXX" Neither work. Obviously I have replaced "information" with X's Ideas?
Well being the legend that I am, I sorted it. Recompiled sendmail with a tiny bit of modification so that it wont do its check_mail rubbish, but will still pass stuff to spamassasin. on
Nah took out the whole check_mail thing so it wont try and resolve DNS's but will still pass on to whatever else, and process the error codes correctly.
