Yes, test(_at_)videotron(_dot_)ca is a user. Part of the problem might rest
with the smtp
server (eXtremail), but i'm not sure. Since usernames comprise the total
address, as in test(_at_)videotron(_dot_)ca & not just user test.

From: "Ed" <ehtech(_at_)videotron(_dot_)ca>
I can't seem to get fetchmail multidrop to work as some have said it's
supposed
to.
Using Fetchmail 5.9.4 & eXtremail 1.1.10
If i specify my localdomains as the same as my cable ISP (videotron.ca)
then
multidrop works, but I cannot send mail to anyone in that domain on the
internet.
If i specify my localdomains as different than my cable ISP (inet.com) ,
then i
can send mail to anyone, but multidrop fails with the error:
X-Fetchmail-Warning: Recipient address test(_at_)videotron(_dot_)ca didn't
match any
local
name.
<---SNIP--->
Have you an account "test" or an alias for that account locally? I collect
email from domains that certainly aren't in my localdomains and as long as
my mail server knows how to deliver to an account with the same name as the
bit before the @ then no errors...
