I have 3 e-mail addresses:
sales(_at_)sample(_dot_)com
tech(_at_)sample(_dot_)com
accounting(_at_)sample(_dot_)com
all three e-mail addresses are being forwarded by my
hosting provider to "sample(_at_)info(_dot_)com(_dot_)ph".
So what happens is all the mail coming from the three
addresses are being mixed into one e-mail address.
Is there a way I can separate them again then send the
mail from "tech(_at_)sample(_dot_)com" to the computer of my
technician. then "sales(_at_)sample(_dot_)com" to my mailbox.
then "accounting(_at_)sample(_dot_)com" to the accountant.
all of us are in the same office. each of us are
connected to the LAN. we all have cable internet
access which we get from the router/firewall-computer
running FREESCO.
Fetchmail has "multidrop" mode which is designed to do exactly what you ask. There are a number of complications that depend on exactly what software your ISP is using, but there is already a great deal of information about multidrop mode in the fetchmail documentation and FAQ. Read through these, then ask if you have any more specific questions.
