I am trying to get fetchmail 3.9.4 working with the FreeBSD 2.2.2
distribution.  For some reason, fetchmail attemts to send two
"mail from:" commands when it makes a connection to the local sendmail
server vial the smtp port:

    fetchmail: SMTP> MAIL FROM:<support@srv.net>
    fetchmail: SMTP> MAIL FROM:<cmott>
    fetchmail: SMTP error: : Unknown error: -1

I have verified by telnet to the smtp port that the "MAIL
FROM:<support@srv.net>" yields a "250 <support@srv.net>... Sender ok"
response, so I don't know why a second "mail from:" response has been
generated.

Any help in this matter would be appreciated.
