Hi,
Newbie on fetchmail config..
I just installed fetchmail on my Suse 8.1,
now I am a bit puzzled on how to get the mail
distributed to different mail boxes. I
do not have a dedicated line so I have to
dialup everytime I need to send or receive
email(configured on the Linux box)
My config is like this.
xyz.com : website where all emails to everyone
in our company are delivered (and also spam)
since we receive everyemai(_at_)xyz(_dot_)com(_dot_)
Now what I want to do is use fetchmail
to retrieve emails from this site (pop it)
and distribute it locally to our internal
mail server (sendmail - on a different box ,
which is again a suse 8.1) on our lan, to each
and every individual to whom the mail is addressed.
all the mails for which we do not have a user
id on the internal sendmail system should be trashed,
or be bounced back to the originator.
The end effect should be like:
Say I get mail for abc(_at_)xyz(_dot_)com it should
be popped form xyz.com and delivered
to our internal sendmail server which
resides on our inner network, and delivers
it to my internal mail user at abc(_at_)internal(_dot_)xyz(_dot_)com
When the users want to send email they send it
to the local sendmail system using SMTP and
this sendmail server then relays it to
the outer SMTP server from our provider
with email addresses as abc(_at_)xyz(_dot_)com(_dot_) Now
I agree this is a fairly complicated issue,
but I hope there would be someone who would
have got this configured and up and running on Suse.
I know of professional products which do this but
cannot afford to get them at my SOHO.
I also had a look at fetchmailconf but could not
figure out how to configure such a setup
