Topic: URGENT BUG PERHAPS? Mail disappearing completely!

[Adam Rykala]

I've noticed what might be a possible bug - I'd like your views on it

Every now and then I'm getting mail fetched in via multi-drop that just vanishes - but leaves this in the log

Jan 12 12:11:15 firewall fetchmail[9329]: 6 messages for adam.rykala at pop.myrealbox.com (69676 octets).
Jan 12 12:11:16 firewall fetchmail[9329]: reading message 1 of 6 (7289 octets)
Jan 12 07:11:17 firewall smtpd[9383]: EOF on client fd.  At least they could say goodbye!
Jan 12 07:11:18 firewall smtpd[9384]: SMTP HELO from localhost(127.0.0.1) as "localhost"
Jan 12 07:11:18 firewall smtpd[9384]: mail from <-@pop.myrealbox.com>
Jan 12 07:11:18 firewall smtpd[9384]: smtp connection from UNKNOWN@localhost(127.0.0.1) MAIL FROM: <-@pop.myrealbox.com> RCPT TO: , allowed by line 22 of /etc/smtpd_check_rules
Jan 12 07:11:18 firewall smtpd[9384]: Recipient
Jan 12 12:11:18 firewall fetchmail[9329]:  flushed
Jan 12 12:11:23 firewall smtpfwdd[9385]: smtpdPA2QlZ forwarded to 1 recipients

If i ever get a message with <-@)whatever)> in the mail from list it disappears completely and I cannot find it at all

Any clues?

Did you try telnetting into the isp mailbox....seems something is defunct over there. Maybe you could clean it out and try again?

good luck

It deletes it from the source ISP after delivery.

I'm almost convinced this is some sort of Spam problem so I don't really mind, but I trust MyRealBox a lot more then me!!
