Recently, I don't know why, I have received mail from a couple of
different sources with completely screwed up domains. Each time it's
been something like <foo@.somehost.bar>. Needless to say, when
fetchmail hands this to exim's SMTP listener it balks, and then
fetchmail dies, refusing to get any more messages.
This effectively leaves me with no way to get more mail until I go and
edit my mailbox to fix the offending From address. I'm sure there's a
better way to handle this, but I'm not sure what it is. Is there some
way I should reconfigure exim or fetchmail to
skip/delete/bounce/ignore these messages?
Thanks, and apologies if this is a FAQ.
