File fetchmail-6.3.8-smtp_errors.patch of Package fetchmail

# Patches fetchmail's behaviour for SMTP servers which: 
# 1) insist on using TLS - we do not want messages which cannot
# be sent due to server negotiation problems lost - rather we
# keep them on the mailserver. As users should realize rather
# quickly that something went wrong, the overhead shouldn't
# be considered that important.
# 2) use the 501 error code to mark spam - in such a case
# the 'antispam' option should be used
