[fetchmail-users] Fetchmail in Singledrop-mode trying to send mail

[Eddie <st...@at...>]

I've been running some tests, for about 3 days now, using fetchmail, in daemon 
mode, to pull my mail down from a POP server every 10 minutes, and then pass 
it off to procmail.  As far as I can make out, reading the man pages, I am 
running in singledrop-mode.  This appears to work fine, except on one or two 
e-mails, I got the following error:

In this snippet, 2 messages were retrieved from the server.  For the first 
one, it looks like sendmail tried to deliver the mail, and failed, instead of 
putting it into the mailbox for eddie.

The 2nd message was hadled correctly, in the same way every other message has 
been.

Here's the .fetchmailrc contents:

set daemon 600
set syslog
poll pop5.xxxxxxxx.net proto pop3 user "xxxxxxxx" pass xxxxxxxx

The user in .fetchmailrc is *not* the same as the user, eddie, that runs this 
process.

So, why, if I'm running in singledrop-mode was that one message treated as if 
I am running multidrop-mode, and should I be concerned about this.

Incoming port 25 is blocked by my firewall, so not "outside" smtp servers can 
talk to my sendmail.  

Cheers.
