(Magnus said not to post post. if you don't know what this means or why
it is considered bad here, google)

with fecthmail, make sure not to bounce mail. otherwise, you become a
backscatter source. Typically, you would put something like this in the
fetchmail rc file:
set nobouncemail
set postmaster <postmasterexample.org>

The second issue is that you no more have the IP of the "injection
point" (it's in the received headers). so you can't do client checks in
postfix (do them at SA level, though this is more expensive and requires
a correct SA config. Do set trusted_networks).

Search the archive for more infos.
