I noticed the trailing "." as well. Is the sending system you refer to the remote system at the where the mail is being stored (ISP) or the mail agent I'm using (Netscape)? I'll look into rewrite options in the exim configuration file as well.

This is perhaps a bit picky, but seems reasonable (I haven't actually checked the specs to see if the trailing . is allowed). > Any idea what my fetchmail problem is? It doesn't look like fetchmail - it seems to just be believing what it sees as the sender address in the incoming mail. Either try to fix the sending system (I'm guessing it's another of your accounts) or try to convince Exim to be less picky. -- Mark Brown mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Trying to avoid grumpiness) http://www.tardis.ed.ac.uk/~broonie/ EUFS http://www.eusa.ed.ac.uk/societies/filmsoc/ -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null
