Fetchmail refuses to deliver some messages

This is fetchmail release 6.3.11+RPA+SDPS+SSL+OPIE+NLS.

I have been finding this notation in the fetchmail log file quite
consistently:

fetchmail: reading message recent:me <at> mydomain.com <at> gmail-pop.l.google.com:1 of 2 (2239 octets) (log
message incomplete)
fetchmail: SMTP error: 501 5.1.7 Bad sender address syntax
fetchmail:  not flushed

This is the e-mail headers from the problem message:

Can you provide the full log.  We'll also need the log from your SMTP
server since that is what's performing the rejection, not fetchmail
(the SMTP error makes that clear).

This looks like there are issues with the DNS or configuration of the  
sender (might be a spammer anyways), and...

fetchmail 6.3.12 regression/bug fix release available (STABLE)


Greetings,

I am announcing the release of fetchmail 6.3.12.  This new stable
version of fetchmail fixes a crash when 6.3.11 is run on SSL servers
without --verbose mode, and other bugs, and it updates translations.
See below for details.

The software is available from:
<http://developer.berlios.de/project/showfiles.php?group_id=1824>

The fetchmail home pages are:
<http://www.fetchmail.info/>  or  <http://fetchmail.berlios.de/>

These are the relevant changes in 6.3.12 since the previous release.
Unless otherwise noted, changes to this release were made by Matthias Andree:

# REGRESSION FIXES
* The CVS-2009-2666 fix in fetchmail release 6.3.11 caused a free() of
  unallocated memory on SSL connections, which caused crashes or program aborts
  on some systems (depending on how initialization and free() of unallocated
  memory is handled in compiler and libc).
  Workaround for older versions: run in verbose mode.
  Patch courtesy of Thomas Heinz, fixes Gentoo Bug #280760.
  This regression affected only the 6.3.11 release, but not the patch that was
  part of the security announcement fetchmail-SA-2009-01.

# BUG FIXES
* Fix error reporting for GSSAPI on Heimdal (h5l) Kerberos.
* Look for MD5_Init in libcrypto rather than libssl, fixes Gentoo Kerberos

fetchmail - "not flushed" Vs viewed mail/downloaded

Howdy,

Delving in to the deep end of Linux based mail here and having some
problems... want to use Mutt as my mail client to read/send mail from
my POP3 enabled gmail account.

I've installed:
procmail - to handle all the folders etc?
mutt - act as my mail client
fetchmail - provide the interface to gmail

Trying to overcome a fetchmail part - if I run a fetchmail -c it
returns 679 messages - I currently have 1 un-read email awaiting. Am I
missing something - I have changed the google setting to "archive
emails accessed via pop3" and ideally I would just like to be able to
use mutt to read new emails - not concerned about storage of mails (as
they are archived by gmail). Insights????

I have .fetchmailrc/.procmailrc/.muttrc available for viewing if required.

I am thinking it might be related to where my mail files are located....
There seems to be mail at three locations:
- $home/Mail/mutt - created by my procmailrc
- $home/Mail/Spool-Link - a sym link I created to /var/spool/mail/jessb
- /var/mail/jessb - mutt opens here by default....

Cheers,
JB

I suggest maildrop instead. procmail appears unmaintained, does not log  
mail delivery in default settings and has an awkward "if one rule fails to  
deliver, just use the next one" fallthrough error handling unless you  
override this (which is long-winded and makes your .procmailrc awkward to  
read). If you must continue to use procmail, do enable logging so you know  
where procmail stuffs your messages. Check the LOGFILE option.

I'm not sure I understand (a) the GMail option and (b) your issue.

Apologies Robb, I'd gotten tied up with other things and forgot to
reply. I've been attempting to contact them various ways since the 28th
and have yet received a reply other than a few of my emails were deleted
without being read :( I've even filled out a contact form at CenturyTel
which Embarq has just merged with. Odd though at domaintools.com I get
this for embarqmail.com:

You should be checking the certificate for pop.embarq.com ;)

Rob, can't seem to track anything down about a certificate for
pop.embarq.com nor pop.embarq.synacor.com. Any suggestions?

Try: openssl s_client -connect pop.example.com:995, using the name of
the POP3 server from your .fetchmailrc.
