There's far too much magic (read: complexity) in fetchmail that makes
the whole address finding process difficult to track. OK, fetchmail -vv
will do, but fixing the configuration from seeing what fetchmail -vv
writes takes an expert (or two). All this address-finding stuff is gory.
You're absolutely right. Unfortunately, tbe goriness is more or less
forced on fetchmail by inadequacies in the underlying protocols.
