OK, here's the story: On Claus's computer, fetchmail was unable to deliver a message and tried to create a bounce. In order to provide decent information, fetchmail 6.2.5 tried to resolve (qualify) its own hostname through gethostbyname(), which failed. This failure caused fetchmail to quit with exit code 11 (PS_DNS). However, this bounce would probably have been lost since the SMTP server that rejects underscores in sender addresses is likely to reject them in recipient addresses too. This is generally a problem if restrictions are getting tighter along the path from the first MX through the internal hops to the mailbox. Anyways, fetchmail 6.2.9-rc8 and newer will no longer quit if they cannot qualify their own hostname for purposes of the bounce, but instead use the unqualified hostname. -- Matthias Andree -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
