If message delivery fails with a 5xx status code (i.e. permanently), the message will instead be delivered to the specified fallback address. If delivery fails for that as well, the usual getmailDeliveryError is raised.
After idling for too long, the LMTP server might terminate our connection. Instead of immediately raising an exception (and most likely dying to it), try to reconnect to the server once first.

Thanks for your great effort! I've also got a getmail/dovecot-lda setup running, and I'll be sure to give this a spin (though it might be a few weeks before I find the time). In any case, it might be prudent to wait before merging this until the latest mainline Python 3.x no longer fails with this code. |
That certainly sounds reasonable. It shouldn't be too long until the fixes land anyway, as they've already been merged last month and a new release is expected soon-ish. |

LMTP is preferred over an LDA to deliver mail to Dovecot mailboxes. Additionally, LMTP functionality has been asked for in various placed across the web, and so far users who required it had to use
fetchmailor other projects.Note: This code is affected by bpo-42756 and will currently not work on an unpatched Python 3.9+ installation.
I've had this code running for a few weeks now and haven't noticed any issues — however, this getmail instance doesn't really see much traffic. If you spot anything, or want anything done differently, please feel free to comment!
