Thanks dman, good guess. But I had the line # headers_check_syntax commented out in my exim.conf. Just to be sure, though, I did it your way. I did not have a headers_sender_verify, so I added it. So I now have: headers_check_syntax = false headers_sender_verify = false I restarted both exim and fetchmail, but I still have a logjam. However, based on your suggestion, I checked my /var/log/exim/mainlog and found this (apparently once for each bad header): 2003-08-15 07:43:58 unqualified recipient rejected: <epting> H=debian (localhost) [127.0.0.1] In my exim.conf I have: qualify_domain = localhost # qualify_recipient = local_domains = localhost:localhost which seems to be the right thing. Does anybody have any other suggestions? -- Michael Epting ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
