Hi fetchmail friends:
I'm using fetchmail to retrieve my mail from a pop3 account and qmail for
local delivery. I'm making prohibitive use of the extension mechanism in
qmail, that is, I have dozens of addresses like wilke-fetchmail, wilke-bla,
wilke-blurb etc.
The problem is that fetchmail somehow, when retrieving my mail and
transferring it to qmail, cuts off the extensions. So wilke-fetchmail becomes
wilke and wilke-bla becomes wilke ...
Anyone out there who knows what I can do?
fetchmail does not currently support address extensions.
If the pop3 account has the same addresses as your fetchmail server, and
your pop3 account is really single-drop, place
set postmaster "wilke"
at the top into .fetchmailrc and add "is * here" between user and
password may do -- but I never tried this.
If your server has a different name but the same extension scheme, an
additional alias may fix this. Again, I never tried this.
The alternative is to use maildrop (don't use procmail) and filter
things, provided that the upstream pop3 account saves the envelope
recipient information.
