fetchmail problem with postfix-antispam

Hi gurus,

and apologies that it is a little bit "off-topic".
I have a weird problem here:
I'm running postfix with the anti-spam-options activated in main.cf,
esp. "reject_unknown_sender_domain".
To query my POP3-accounts, I'm using fetchmail, called by cron with the
following options:
fetchmail --antispam 450,550
Hm, so far, so well, now the problem:
Every time fetchmail retrieves a SPAM, it is forwarded to the MTA, and
the MTA answers with a 450 SMTP-Error, as expected. Unfortunately, this
code is not recognized by fetchmail, so, the SPAM stays on the
POP-server, and fetchmail retrieves and tries to forward it to the MTA
every time it runs, generating error reports.
So, I don't receive the SPAM, but instead, the error-reports, :-)
Ah, not to forget, OS is SUN Solaris 10 on an E250.

Any clues??

Thanks in advance,

Harald Husemann
