The inbox at my ISP has been flooded with e-mails. All 300-900Kb big, no subject line, no from line. After talks with my ISP, we have determined who they come from, but I'm having trouble contacting them. Legit e-mail due to this can take forever to download, as fetchmail is also collecting the crap.
I'm thinking of running mailfilter to delete these at the ISP before they hit my server inbox (I use fetchmail, hence I intend to introduce the pre-connect feature).
If I'm reading the manpage correctly, preconnect is done at the beginning of a fetchmail session, not at the beginning of each message fetch.
It is done at the beginning of a session - my fetchmail is run through a cron job.
This did actually work for me in the past. When I re-loaded my server with RedHat 9, I never put mailfilter back on as at the time I didn't need it. Now I do (sob).
