[ale] fetchmail --antispam

[David S. Jackson]

Hi,

I'm trying to tell fetchmail to treat any pop3 message with error 451
as a spam message and to flush it, despite what the error says.
Fetchmail wants to save all mail until it knows it's bad.  I'm
telling it to override its default behavior because I know error 451
(sender address doesn't resolve) is a spam error.  So I start
fetchmail thusly:

fetchmail --antispam 451

However, the log tells me this:

 *** snip ***
 reading message dsj%dsj.net at pop.dsj.net:28 of 28 (5284 octets)
 fetchmail: SMTP error: 451 4.1.8 Domain of sender address
 rainer at augsburg.net does not resolve
 ..... not flushed
 
Why doesn't fetchmail believe me?  Why doesn't this message get
flushed as I asked it to be?  All help welcome.  TIA!
