Hello,
Are the suffixes of addresses (andre+blabla(_at_)domain) handled by
fetchmail, and if so how?
For now I have the following problem: (using a multidrop), depending
on whether the enveloppe is set to user+blalba(_at_)mailserver(_dot_)domain or
to
user+blabla(_at_)somethingelse(_dot_)domain, the local delivery is not the same.
[something can be empty, see logs below]
I think fetchmail checks if is there is a localuser with
name andre+blabla only when the domain part of the enveloppe is not
set to mailserver.domain (in my case it is not called mailserver,
but reconized as an alias for it). [Side note: Shouldn't it be always
the case?]
So the local user (destination) is andre+blabla in the first case, and
andre in the other ones, but I would like it to be andre+blabla all the
time.
In other words, I'm asking for the feature of reconizing suffixes for
email addresses (typically + or - signs), so if checking for user+blabla
fails, but check on user is OK, then deliver to user+blabla
[this leaves open the case if the MTA is not configured to reconize
suffixes]
or else not_check for local existence.
My .fetchmailrc
poll popsrv.cs.cornell.edu protocol POP3 user "andre" pass "xxxxxx" to *
fetchall
Local delivery is done via Postfix (then procmail)
Remote MailServer: I don't know, but they do a strange staff of
rewriting addresses for erasing local machine names (only in from/to
headers maybe)
