If you don't specify the antispam option it is set to a list of sensible defaults - which includes 501 for Exim (as it doesn't give a specific spam rejection code yet). Fetchmail refuses anything other than a comma separated list of numbers for the antispam option, so if you want to set it to 500-599 then your only option is to specify every code manually or leave it out all together (the later solving you problem anyway). If you've also got the spambounce option set it will cause messages rejected due to the antispam option to be bounced to the sender. You will still see the timeout error in Exim's log but it should only happen once for each message. If you're logging fetchmail anywhere you should see that it has discarded the message. -- Jason Chambers ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Leicester, England Registered Linux User #271693 (http://counter.li.org)
