Be CAREFULL with your fetchmail runs...

Hi,

I have - just to be on the safe side - now REMOVED eam@eclipse.net
from the linux-kernel -list, whom I believe to be the one whose email
is "bouncing" in this spectacularly bad manner.

I myself have never used 'fetchmail', so I have no idea why its
mis-configuration seems to be so easy that these misdirected "bounces"
happen again and again...

Also, a thing I find most disturbing is that the error report goes to
entirely wrong address! WHY ????
Isn't "Return-Path:" header available at the POP server ?

(lots of addresses, lots of "hats")
