Greetings,
I'm using fetchmail 6.2.1 in multi-drop mode, and have had no unforseeable
problems with it up until now.
Recently my ISP have outsourced their mail services, and for some bizarre
reason the new MDA is putting an @ symbol in the Received: headers, which I
believe is causing problems with fetchmail identifying the multidrop
recipient.
An example verbose session follows:
# fetchmail -v -v -k -f /etc/mail/.fetchmailrc -m "/usr/sbin/sendmail -i
-oem -f %F %T"

fetchmail: line rejected, mta.mail.outsourced_to.isp.net.au is not an alias

[...]
It's that last line that's the problem. fetchmail _should_ recognise
@domain.com.au as a localdomain. It certainly has up until now, and the only
change is the new mail server courtesy of my ISP's cost-cutting.
Instead, it would seem fetchmail quites at the first @ expression, which is
not an email address at all, but rather an id expression.
Here's my configuration for the record:
