Re: [fetchmail] Q about "set postmaster" and bounces

Does the postmaster option also change the sender for outbound mail from
fetchmail (i.e., bounces)?

I seem to be getting bounces from servers that don't like FETCHMAIL-DAEMON
as the name-part of the sender, and am wondering if "set postmaster ..."
will solve this.

Nope, but setting the "smtpaddress" value to a valid domain might help (as otherwise it's probably fetchmail-daemon(_at_)localhost and most places will rightly bounce that).


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