Hiya,

I have a small fetchmail setup as a backup to my mail server so I can
pop my mail if for any reason my mail server is down.

My setup works fine to mail directly addressed ie with a To: which is
local, the problem I have is that for mail that is via a mailing list or
has been Bcc'd, Fetchmail is not recognising the X-Envelope-To: or the
Envelope-To: addresses. In the 2 examples I have, fetchmail gives a
warning. In the 1st case it says there was no To: and the warning was no
recipient addresses matched etc, in the 2nd (corectly) that the actual
To: address didn't match any local one

You may wish to RTFM - the man page does detail how to specify the
Envelope-to header correctly.
