Re: [fetchmail] same settings but different behaviour...

It appears I need to tune fetchmail on both firewall and workstation,
adding the good options. "norewrite", "smtpaddress" and "smtpname",
"smtphosts" could help.

Give it a go and let us know how you get on.

Something like that. I guess fetchmail on the firewall add its header
and rewrite envelope with lct(_at_)localhost(_dot_)megrapet(_dot_)org, and 
fetchmail on
the workstation does it again... So postfix fails somewhere on the
header.

Well, it doesn't look like it fails, looks like it does exactly what it's told. Everything indicates that it doesn't know that the email is local, so relays the email. I suspect that if you fix postfix you'll solve the problem.

Here's a sample of my .fetchmailrc:

defaults proto pop3
       smtphost mailhost.my-domain
       smtpaddress my-domain
       no rewrite
       set invisible

poll pop3.blueyonder.co.uk
       username "user" password "pass" to "rob" here

Where my-domain is my internal domain.


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