After sending my plea for help, I realized the message had to be in the source code of something. Didn't find it in fetchmail. Did find it in /usr/src/contrib/sendmail/cf/m4/proto.m4. And later found it in /etc/sendmail.cf. Commenting out the line in sendmail.cf, and a "kill -HUP" to sendmail now lets this problem email arrive. I have mixed feelings about it, but my ISP already accepted delivery, so I might as well download it the rest of the way. And no, the problem message was legit, not spam. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@nospam.hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
