I used postmaster option to specify where messages sent to users that do not
exist locally should be directed to, and nobounce so that error messages are
not sent back to the sender.
However, when I send a message to a user not defined locally, what the
default user receives is an error message, not the message itself. This is
because the SMTP server running locally (exim) does not recognize the
destination mailbox and thus generates an error like this one:
This message was created automatically by mail delivery software (Exim).
A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its
recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed:
info(_at_)oxys(_dot_)be
unknown local-part "info" in domain "oxys.be"
How can the default user receive the message as if it was directed to him?
Thanks

If you want help you need to send something people can read by your average
mail client. 10KB emails aren't likely to attract to much interest and
mixed text/html emails probably won't win you any friends. For most
technical mailing lists your best bet is to stick with plain text emails.
However, after a few minutes of effort (and the use of a Linux box) I
finally dragged the following out of the SMIME mountain:
Hi
I would like to setup the following:
I poll a POP account, which collects all mails sent to my domain.
Typically, this collects mail for user1, user2 and user3, plus all
mails sent to undefined users (like info(_at_)(_dot_)(_dot_)(_dot_),
sales(_at_)(_dot_)(_dot_)(_dot_)).
What I want to achieve is, based on the 'to' field, store mail sent to
user1(_at_)mydomain, to the local user1 user, idem for user2 and user3, and
direct all mail sent to unknown users to user1.
How can I achieve this with fetchmail? I tried using multidrop, but
could
not handle the unknown users
Take a look, again, at the man page. You're looking for the postmaster
option and the no bounce option. Another option is your mail server's
equivalent of the LUSER_RELAY option in Sendmail.
Please DO NOT send me ANY email directly unless it's a privacy issue.
Reply-to mangled to assist those who don't read the above.
