Re: [fetchmail] Okay... Fetchmail problems (Header Rewriting)

Fetchmail 5.3 (Because debian ain't updated the packages, and fetchmail 6.2
(last time i tried) failed to compile complaining about yacc problems...)

Well, 5.3 is only slightly ancient :-)

Debian 3.0r0

/etc/fetchmailrc:


poll pop3.anlx.net
        protocol pop3
        user "moo"
        pass "moo"
        smtphost "moo";

poll pinky.notnet.co.uk
        protocol pop3
        user "moo"
        pass "moo"
        smtphost "moo";

I'm baffled now... Can someone please suggest to me exactly how I'm supposed
to get mail off a remove server and pass it onto my local SMTP server
UNTOUCHED.

It's extremely important that it's untouched. IE no added headers, no
mangled 'To' fields... nothing.

That'll involve the "man" command, specifically "man fetchmail". Take a look in particular at "invisible" and "no rewrite". I use these and my mail headers look like the remote SMTP server performed an SMTP delivery to my mail server.

If you don't want even that then you'll need to pass the email directly to something like procmail.


 Please DO NOT send me ANY email directly unless it's a privacy issue.
