Package: fetchmail
Version: 6.2.5-12
Severity: important

When the local SMTP daemon rejects a message, Fetchmail generates a 
bounce messages with a non-null reverse-path, in violation of RFCs. In 
addition, the username it uses (FETCHMAIL-DAEMON) does not exist, so any 
responses will themselves bounce. This is likely to generate mail loops.

Also the message it sends has no subject, which is very unhelpful.

fetchmailrc:

set daemon 60
set postmaster "postmaster"
poll pop3.demon.co.uk aka mailstore protocol SDPS interface eth0/192.168.0.1
    options localdomains rilynn.demon.co.uk no dns no envelope
    user rilynn password foo to *
        options fetchall no rewrite warnings 86400

The relevant part from fetchmail -v -v is below:

reading message rilynn at pop3.demon.co.uk:1 of 1 (1683 octets)
fetchmail: passed through gfdgfd at rilynn.demon.co.uk matching rilynn.demon.co.uk

fetchmail: SMTP< 250 Accepted
fetchmail: no address matches; forwarding to postmaster.

In addition to generating a bounce, the original mail is forwarded to 
postmaster, as can be seen on the last couple of lines above. My 
understanding of the man page is that either a bounce should be 
generated *or* it should be forwarded to the postmaster address, but not 
both.

Thanks,

Roger

 fetchmail (6.3.0-1) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * New upstream release.
     - Security fix. CVE-2005-2335 and CVE-2005-3088
     - Drop support for OS not conforming to the Single Unix Specification v2

     - Default for --smtphost is now always "localhost".
     - Force fetchsizelimit to 1 for APOP and RPOP.
     - Patch, to use a NULL envelope from, not write a Return-Path header (both to
       meet RFC-2821), changed From, added Subject header, rewording the human
       readable part.  (Closes: #316446).
     - Patch to avoid a segfault in multidrop/received mode when the
       Received: headers are malformatted.
     - MIME-encode bodies and Subject headers of warning messages, limiting
       the header to 7 bits.
     - Normalize most locale codesets to IANA codesets.

       reported. (Closes: #242384)

     - Fix fetchmail leaks sockets when SSL negotiation fails.
       (Closes: #301964).

       (Closes: #207919).
     - When writing the PID file, write a FHS 2.3 compliant PID file.

     - Document that fetchmail may automatically enable UIDL option.
       (Closes: #304701).
     - Put *BOLD* text into the manual page near --mda to state unmistakably
       that the --mda %T and %F substitutions add single quotes, hoping to avoid
       bogus bug reports. (Closes: #224564).

     - Write RFC-compliant BSMTP envelopes.
     - Received: headers now enclose the for <...> destination address in angle
       brackets for consistency with Postfix.

       mismatch errors. Patch by Roland Stigge, Debian Bug#201113. (MA)
     - make fetchmail --silent --quit really silent. (Closes: #229014)
     - Exit with error if the lock file cannot be read.
     - Do not break some other process's lockfile in "-q" mode, but wait for
       the other process's exit.
     - Man page: --sslfingerprint points user to x509(1ssl) and gives an
          example how to use it. (Closes: #213484)
     - Try to obtain FQDN as our own host by default, rather than using
      "localhost". If hostname cannot be qualified, complain noisily and continue,
       unless Kerberos, ODMR or ETRN are used (these require a FQDN).
       Partial fix of Debian Bug#150137. (Closes: #316454).
     - fetchmailconf now sets the service properly after autoprobe.
       (Closes: #320645).
     - When eating IMAP message trailer, don't see any line containing "OK"
       as the end of the trailer, but wait for the proper tagged OK line. To work
       around the qmail + Courier-IMAP problem in Debian. (Closes: #338007).
     - Fixes: when trying to send a bounce message, don't bail out if we cannot
       qualify our own hostname, so we aren't losing the bounce. Instead, pass the
       buck on to the SMTP server and use our own unqualified hostname.
       (Closes: #317761)
     - Updated translations: Albanian [sq] (Besnik Bleta), Catalan [ca] (Ernest
       Adrogué Calveras), Czech [cs] (Miloslav Trmac), German [de] (MA),
       Spanish (Castilian) [es] (Javier Kohen), French [fr] (MA),
       Polish [pl] (Jakub Bogusz), Russian [ru] (Pavel Maryanov).
     - In oversized warning messages, print the account name, too.
       (Closes: #213299).
   * Remove man1 from mandir on install time. (change on the packaging).
   * Deleted es.po patch. Included upstream. Updated 00list.
   * Added myself to uploaders.
   * Added patch to fix warning on fetchmail man page. Should submit upstream.
