ssl with dslextreme.com attempts to send a spurious email
jdow <[email protected]>

I am running up to date Scientific Linix 7.x (Centos). The fetchmail version is
fetchmail-6.3.24-7.el7.x86_64. Openssl is openssl-1.0.2k-16.el7_6.1.x86_64. The
.fetchmailrc file looks like:
===8<---
set syslog
set postmaster "jdow"
set no bouncemail
set no spambounce
set properties ""
set daemon 60
#set logfile fetchmail_el.log
poll mail.dslextreme.com with proto pop3 port 995
user '[email protected]', with password '123456does not work' ssl,
is 'jdow@...' here pass8bits
user BBBwith password '123456does not work' ssl,
is 'jdow@...' here pass8bits
poll pop.earthlink.net with proto pop3
....
===8<---
Command line is: /usr/bin/fetchmail -d 60 --fetchmailrc /home/jdow/.fetchmailrc
(Yes, there is a redundancy there.)
Fetchmail feeds off to Postfix which runs spamassassin via procmail. It is a
working configuration from way back so I elected to perpetuate it rather than
fix it. {^_-}
This (or an older version of it) has been working for a couple decades or more.
Along about 2019-Apr-04 it started to try to send an email to a rather enigmatic
address, JkiO@JkiO----------------------.{MUNG]us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com.
Old logwatch reports show a few sporadic "Illegal address syntax in SMTP
command" errors in the Postfix syslog messages. But now I am getting them nearly
every poll cycle. Nothing is going out because I do not use the local Postfix
for sending mail. It seems to be an unnecessary step in the sending process. I
believe I have determined it is fetchmail itself that is acquiring the localhost
socket to send the mail using the audit facility.
What configuration error might I have introduced?
