I'm using fetchmail to retrieve email from my isp, and getting the=20
following message in /var/log/maillog repeated at about the fetchmail=20
polling rate:

Oct  9 00:00:01 beta sm-mta[5995]: h98EU11h005995: Syntax error in mailbo=
x address "cf4lsn@adsenger.com?" (non-printable character)
Oct  9 00:00:01 beta sm-mta[5995]: h98EU11h005995: from=3D<FETCHMAIL-DAEM=
ON@beta.home>, size=3D0, class=3D0, nrcpts=3D0, proto=3DSMTP, daemon=3DMT=
A, relay=3Dlocalhost.home [127.0.0.1]

I haven't been able to find the source of the reference:
cf4lsn@adsenger.com

% cat .fetchmailrc  ->
# Configuration created Mon Feb 17 00:14:20 2003 by fetchmailconf
set postmaster "malcolm"

set properties ""
poll mail.internode.on.net with proto POP3
       user 'malcolm.kay' there with password 'xxxxxxxxxxx'

how to fix it.
