Seeing as this post is not getting thru the moderator when I post
from work, I'll post this from home..... my brothers company is getting
desperate and many E-mails sent to postmaster.....

Would it be possible for someone to reply on this problem as the mail
to postmaster is getting annoying as I have to redistribute the E-mails
that Fetchmail has not delivered.
Some E-mails are getting sent to the correct person, others for that
person are going to postmaster.

I have changed the names in the below list...
localuser exists on the local system, so the first rec'd line is true,
the user who the E-mail is "for" exists (for
<localuser(_at_)we-ef(_dot_)com(_dot_)au>;)
I thought that the "local user" who the E-mail is intended for is
contained in the headers, not reading from the "To:
ABC(_at_)ozemail(_dot_)com(_dot_)au"
line, which doesn't always exist.
Or do I have a misconfiguration ?
Below the headers is the .fetchmailrc file.

I have excluded the "interface" line cause when the thing was offline,
I kept getting startup errors in fetchmail cause it couldn't find the IP
address... I am also using diald for the dialup control.
