I can't seem to get a weird mutidrop configuration I have to work.
I have several boxes that are "catch-all" at an ISP for each of our domains.
we use first(_dot_)lastname(_at_)domain(_dot_)com for e-mail.
any one of my users can have e-mail sent to any domain.
I am trying to get fetchmail to get all the mail from these boxes at the ISP
and then drop them in on the local server.
The problem is that user names are firstnamel (ie firstname and first letter of
last name.) so they don't map directly.
I thought I could get fetchmail to get the mail and then use the mappings in
sendmails 'aliases' file to redirect to the correct user here.
that failed with a nice little bit of mail looping (hehehe) So I though I could
trick sendmail and put an entry into the DNS
for the mx record of those domains. Now that just went weird.
fetchmailrc so far
set postmaster "gregc"
set syslog
set nobouncemail
set no spambounce
set properties ""
set daemon 2
poll pop3.xtra.co.nz with proto POP3 localdomains domain1.com domain2.co.nz
domain3.co.nz and no dns:
user 'user1' there with password 'pass1' to 'gregc' * here options keep
user 'user2' there with password 'pass2' to * here options keep
user 'user3' there with password 'pass3' to * here options keep
user 'user4' there with password 'pass4' to 'martin.rait'='martinr'
'greg.cockburn'='gregc' here options keep
user 'user5' there with password 'pass5' options keep
user 'user6' there with password 'pass6' options keep
as you can see I have been playing with some options and I have just got my
self stumped now.
Does anyone have any ides?
Thanks,
Greg
