Not an expert here (use RH and exim) but I can give some advice in no
particular order.
Exim has a facility to declare some domains as local ( I am fairly sure
you can define users as well) which stops them getting sent via the web.
I would imagine that sendmail has something similar
As regards fetchmail you need something like this in yor .fetchmailrc
poll 208.55.225.118 proto pop3 nodns localdomains 'domain1' 'domain2'
user "ISP user name" password XXXXXX is * here;
note the asterisk
I also have the following defaults
defaults timeout 900 set postmaster mailpoll(_at_)mail1 set no bouncemail set
invisible:
The local domains are so fetchmail knows in its rewriting which domains
are yours
Then obviously you need to set up users on the Unix box
Alternately you can setup seperate lines for each account replacing the
* with the name.
One wrinkle certain isps have certin idiosycracies with their pop
servers (demon in UK for one)
But this should work

Hello.
I am attempting to set up a mail server on my home network. I use
SuSe 6.4, and have somehow managed to get sendmail working (I can send
email from the test account to any outside address), but fetchmail is
whupping me. I use Webmin (used it to set up sendmail successfully), so
downloaded a fetchmail module. I still cannot get fetchmail to get mail via
my Coyote server (I use pop3 via a dialup server called Coyote) from my isp.
Is there a good document I can download that will explain how to set
fetchmail up? My long-term intentions are to have a Linux box (SuSe)
collect and store all the mail for my family (there are five accounts on
the isp), which we can pickup locally with our preferred email client.
Then, I would like the same thing to happen in reverse. Eventually, I would
like mail from one of us to another family member to NOT hit the iisp at
all, but be delivered locally. Ulitmately this will enable me to do
something similar for the small network at my work, but home is the testbed.
Thanks for any help!
