I just manually cleaned off 460+ emails from my ISP's mailbox that I 'fetch' mail from. they were logging in my fetchmail log as... fetchmail: incorrect header line found while scanning headers and they seemed to be 100% spam. It would be better to let them through and have my 'sieve' filter spank them here than to leave them on my ISP's system. This is my .fetchmailrc defaults set daemon 180 set postmaster craig set nospambounce set nobouncemail set logfile /home/craig/fetchmail.log poll mail-phx-03.alevelhigher.com proto imap localdomains azapple.com user "notsignificant" pass "notsignificant" batchlimit 25 Is there some setting that I am missing that prevents them from being retrieved and then flushed? Is it because of something in my sendmail.mc file like FEATURE(`blacklist_recipients')dnl ? I will note that I have this set FEATURE(`accept_unresolvable_domains')dnl since the ISP has already accepted the mail, it seems pointless to refuse it now. Craig
