[fetchmail] domain trouble

2003-02-03 19:16:59
Hi Folks =)

I'm having an issue that perhaps is covered in the FAQ but my tired eyes are too tired to convey it to my brain.

I'm trying to use fetchmail to retrieve mail from a remote POP3 server that *requires* a username of "user(_at_)domain(_dot_)com". However, I need to fetch the mail from the server called pop.domain.com. Trouble is the username that gets sent is user(_at_)pop(_dot_)domain(_dot_)com with the below fetchmailrc:

poll pop.domain.com with proto POP3:
no dns, no envelope
localdomains domain.com
user "foo" with password "bar" is
   foobar
localhost
keep

I've tried using the via command and specifying the ip but then it errors out because it appears to send the username as user(_at_)ip(_dot_)add(_dot_)ress(_dot_) Similar trouble with using the aka commands.

Can anyone offer some insight???

Cheers,

~S~
