I recently upgraded from RedHat 7.3 to 9.  I am still "recovering" from 
the upgrade.  B^)

Right now I'm interested in knowing why emails from my POP3 account 
which are being brought down via fetchmail and match a REJECT address in 
my sendmail /etc/mail/access file are being left on the POP3 server....

Under RedHat 7.3, I would get a message in my log files like:

> Jun  7 23:00:05 kjc386 sendmail[20717]: h58304P20717: ruleset=check_mail, arg1=<bounce-8463814-413@mail126.cavalrymail.com>, relay=IDENT:7keT+AvEXVf1/8zawwvhKL6cnlDkwrUQ@localhost [127.0.0.1], reject=550 5.7.1 <bounce-8463814-413@mail126.cavalrymail.com>... Access denied

Now, I get 2 messages:

> Aug 27 12:15:07 kjc386 sendmail[18003]: h7RGF7Tl018003: ruleset=check_mail, arg1=<ezsweeps@static4.ezsweeps.com>, relay=IDENT:lSEfI7m2TdS7/1UYTd+ZDn/5LMe7Bngx@localhost [127.0.0.1], reject=550 5.7.1 <ezsweeps@static4.ezsweeps.com>... Access denied
> Aug 27 12:15:07 kjc386 sendmail[18005]: h7RGF7Tl018005: ruleset=check_rcpt, arg1=<ezsweeps@static4.ezsweeps.com>, relay=IDENT:3pNk/9+2VkznOLs9sp/8SB3MPFrvK+MJ@localhost [127.0.0.1], reject=550 5.2.1 <ezsweeps@static4.ezsweeps.com>... Mailbox disabled for this recipient

*AND* the email remains in my POP3 mailbox to do the same thing the 
*next* time I try and download!  I have to go in and delete these 
message by hand now, whereas, under RH7.3, when they were rejected, they 
disappeared!

Is this a sendmail or fetchmail problem?  And how do I fix it????

(then its on the other problems from the upgrade!)
