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.
I did, it says:
-E <line> | --envelope <line>
(Keyword: envelope) This option changes the header
fetchmail assumes will carry a copy of the mail’s envelope address.
Nor-mally this is ‘X-Envelope-To’ but as this header is not stan-
dard, practice varies.
Snip
To repeat the problem I had both mails had 'X-Envelope-To' but this was
ignored by fetchmail even though I had not turned off or used the
envelope option ie the default activity is not happening as per the
manual.
The manual also refers to the -E "Received" option too but does not
explain it. I have assumed that it is used in the same way as To * here.
This appears to be common on all mail received from that Pop3 server.
My problem is to get Fetchmail to either recognise the X-Envelope-To or
the Envelope-To line for a multi drop mailbox. RTFM is not helping.
