Re: [fetchmail] Fetchmail as a mail redirector?

As fetchmail needs to delivers mail to a SMTP server (which would act as a
relay, in your case), I think it would be hard to avoid this relay's
address rewriting mechanisms. So you should choose a relay which does not
rewrite... Can your bypass your company's SMTP server and have fetchmail
deliver to one of your provider's relay hosts? IMHO, these are typically
unlikely to rewrite addresses before routing them.

Once more my writing things in a hurry means I don't say what I mean...

What I was trying to say, in my usual backwards manner, was that I want to use fetchmail to redirect the email. While I could use sendmail, I'd rather not. Partly it's an exercise in what's possible, maybe not what's sensible :-)


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