Package: fetchmail
Version: 6.2.5-13
Severity: important

Fetchmail stop completely when it encounters an email with an underscore in
the domain name. That is, it does not just skip the message - it fails to
continue fetching other mails from this and other mail hosts.

A spam mail resulted in such a DOS on my box with the following "fatal" error:

gethostbyname failed for ip7133120
fetchmail: SMTP-error: 501 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: malformed
address: _tunis.intl.tn> may not follow <[EMAIL PROTECTED]

When I deleted the offending email from the POP3 server, fetchmail
served me again
