Hi Michael,

I face just the same problems you had and i found the solution in
installing the mailf tool witch rewrites
the header so that also Bcc headers are processed. (It will act as an
MDA)
You can download it from http://www.steines.de/mailf/
I think youre problems wil be solved with this.

Subject: [fetchmail]Help with multidrop config

Hi all,

I'm new to fetchmail and so the answer is probably simple, but I
can't seem to  work it out myself...

Let's say I have an account at an ISP let's say it's 
(hypothetically:) michaeld(_at_)senet(_dot_)com(_dot_)au   I also have a 
alias there
called  "susied(_at_)senet(_dot_)com(_dot_)au" that gets redirected to 
"michaeld".

On my laptop I have 2 users, "mikey" and "susie".  I'd like:
"michaeld(_at_)senet(_dot_)com(_dot_)au" email to go to "mikey", and 
"susied(_at_)senet(_dot_)com(_dot_)au" to go to "susie".

So I started with 

poll pop.senet.com.au : 
 protocol pop3 username "michaeld" password
"whycan'tiunderstandfetchmail" to  
   'michaeld'='mikey' 'susied'='susie' here 

.. which works fine for "michaeld", as "michaeld" email gets sent
to "mikey",  but "susied" email goes to "mikey" as well! with the
following complaint in  the "susied" addressed email:

X-Fetchmail-Warning: recipient address susied(_at_)senet(_dot_)com(_dot_)au 
didn't
match any  local name. 

Now of course there IS a "susie" local user.

grep susie /etc/passwd
susie:x:999:999:Susie:/home/susie:/bin/bash 

So what am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance,

Michael...
