Package: getmail4
Version: 4.6.5-1
Severity: important

My ISP dumps mail bounces to my domain into a single address box. I use 
getmail with the MultidropIMAP facility to get and unpack these.

Since most of these emails are spam, sometimes they have really bad 
formatting problems. In particular, I can get the
        try:
            line = data[self.envrecipname][self.envrecipnum]
        except (KeyError, IndexError), unused:

exception to trigger in class MultidropIMAPRetrieverBase.
This causes getmail to abort fetching, and there is no way to remove the 
email except by manually deleting it, which is a real challenge.

In this kind of automated use, it would make sense to have an option to 
allow getmail to substitute a null recipient (I hacked it to substitute 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] and log the failure) so the system would carry on.
