hi,
you are right, my machine and my POP3 server both have same, domain
(i will change the localdomain).
and i have qmail-ldap installed and all my users have ids like
userid(_at_)our(_dot_)domain, so if i change my smtpaddress parameter to
localhost or localhost.our.domain. my logs (/var/log/qmail/current) say
Sorry,_no_mailbox_here_by_that_name.
when the mail reaches the user with my .fetchmailrc file it puts
Delivered-To line again, will it still have loop detection problem?

hi all,
found solution to my problem, my mails were looping back to the sender
saying
<first(_at_)test(_dot_)cnpl(_dot_)co(_dot_)in>:
This message is looping: it already has my Delivered-To line. (#5.4.6)
i had to make some changes in .fetchmailrc file, removed ``:'' (colon)
envelope "Delivered-To"
and added
dropdelivered
now its working fine, here is my running .fetchmailrc file
This may work, but it also defeats loop detection, which may have
unwanted side effects and summon the wrath of countless postmasters.
It probably happens if the POP3 server machine and the machine running
fetchmail share the same hostname, which should *never* happen. But note
that this hostname may be localhost or localhost.your.domain -- make
sure your smtpaddress parameter is correct, it must bear the name of
YOUR computer, not that of the server, and again, these must be distinct.
