I would have thought that the "receiver_unqualified_hosts = localhost" bit would be implicit... but I guess not.

So yeah... now I'm receiving fetchmail's error message in my inbox every 5 minutes. it kinda looks to me like some spammer munged his headers so badly that it's screwing things up for delivery. However, "General SMTP/ESMTP error." doesn't tell me much about just what's wrong or what to *do* about it. Since it's obviously just some spam, I don't care whether the message gets delivered or just deleted. Any suggestions? Here is the full text of fetchmail's message: From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [-- Attachment #1 --] [-- Type: text/plain, Encoding: 7bit, Size: 0.1K --] General SMTP/ESMTP error.
