I've RTFM and googled for months now. Sorry if I missed or misunderstood the
fix? But...
Using fetchmail and exim 3 (configs below) I gather email from a remote
qmail host over pop3 to my Debian box. Fetchmail reports that exim craps
with this in the fetchmail log:
fetchmail: reading message me@my_remote_host.net:1 of 23 (4097 octets) exim:
<Received:frommailout2-eri1.midsouth.rr.com@my_remote_host.netbyrly-xr01.mx.aol.comwithNNFMP_Dec>
- bad address: "@" or "." expected after "Received"
fetchmail: SIGPIPE thrown from an MDA or a stream socket error
fetchmail: socket error while delivering to SMTP my_remote_host.net
fetchmail: Query status=2 (SOCKET)
fetchmail: terminated with signal 13
The actual header looks like:
snip >>
Delivered-To: 115-me@my_remote_host.net
Received: (qmail 49975 invoked from network); 8 Dec 2003 10:06:44 -0000
Received: from fl2-24.217.225.236.charter-stl.com (HELO 24.1.8.129)
(24.217.225.236)
by server2.my_remote_host.com with SMTP; 8 Dec 2003 10:06:44 -0000
Return-Path: Received: from mailout2-eri1.midsouth.rr.com
([110.220.177.171]) by rly-xr01.mx.aol.com with NNFMP; Dec, 08 2003 1:55:05
AM +0400
snip>>
I think it's complaining is due the comma after that last "Dec" or to the
Received field being in the Return Path line (which is BTW the second Return
Path line in the complete header).
What I have tried to no avail in exim.conf:
receiver_try_verify combined with receiver_verify_{address,sender,host}
values
receiver_unqualified_hosts = localhost
It would be great if I just got a log alert and the daemon goes on the the
next message, drops the offender, or freezes the booger, whatever.... The
bottom line is, I just want the remote account flushed because I
assassinate the SP@m and use dcc here. Would anyone very kindly tell me how
to turn the offended exim rule off?
