[fetchmail] IMAP server with LOGINDISABLED capability

Hello all.

I use a IMAP server (myrealbox.com) which in the 
capabilities anounces LOGINDISABLED, however it
allows login.
Since I like IMAP much better than POP3, I propose
the addition of a nologindisabled option for the
server connections, to ignore the LOGINDISABLED
capability and attempt login anyway.

Patch againt fetchmail-6.0.0 is attached and tested.

Best regards,

     Nelson

The safe default would be to leave the antispam list empty.

Oh hum. Even though the machine I reported this against, ludwig.ping.de,
has been off-line for many months now, I happen to have the original
configuration here, because it was a well-documented one. And indeed, it
has

  antispam 571 554 501          # 550 nicht!

for the multidrop case ("nicht" is German for "not").

Good catch.

[fetchmail] Bouncing unknown users mail

Hi folks,

I am using fetchmail 5.9.13 with exim 4.10. I get a lot of spam for
users who don't exist, ie 1028829088.b562f4 <at> tcob1.net (which was a
msgid). However, when fetchmail whe it hits exim says:

reading message 1 of 4 (23538 octets) .fetchmail:
SMTP error: 550 unknown user ..................... not flushed

I editted the 550 out of the antispam list.

Fine. So what is your question again? 

What is wrong with that?

How did you configure fetchmail to achieve this?

What do you expect fetchmail to do instead?

I believe you need to pay GMX to be allowed to use IMAP.

Nothing serious, the server seems to hicc-up.

Okay, I should have continued :)

I used to have Fetchmail bouncing them to the original sender, okay
99% of the time the bounce will bounce but that is no problem, it will
end up in my bit bucket.

My config is:

What happens if you don't do

fetchmail -q; fetchmail

Does fetchmail keep on reporting ERROR on every run after that? Run

Perfectly normal and expected.  Most traditional unix services pass 
passwords in clear down the network.

The most you can do is switch to a provider that supports SSL or something 
other than plain text authentication.

  Please DO NOT send me ANY email directly unless it's a privacy issue.
       Reply-to mangled to assist those who don't read the above.
