[ Eric, can we get this put in the FAQ - it's coming up a lot right now ]


From: "jennyw" <jenfetchmail(_at_)dangerousideas(_dot_)com>

I just recently installed fetchmail. It works great! One thing, though ... I noticed when I checked e-mail, the received date for all the messages was the same (of course -- since they were fetched together). Is there a way to get the MTA (in this case sendmail, although I'll be moving to postfix) to use the received date from the server that mail is being fetched from?

It's all down to your mail client, not the MTA. It uses the last Received: header to generate the received date.

The only option you've got is to deliver direct via procmail or similar.
