From: "Sothun Thay" <sthay(_at_)mopf(_dot_)gov(_dot_)tp>
I have Linux box (RH8.0) with Fetchmail-6.2.5+INET6 and Postfix-1.1.11 on
the same box.
Postfix is configured to forward (relayhost = [172.20.44.10]) all out
going/incomming messages to my EMWAC (W2K [172.20.44.10]) for further both
local/Internet delivery. And it works perfectly these day.
Recently I decided to install Fetchmail on the same box as postfix. It job
is supposed to download messages from the remote ISP POP3, and forward
messges to Postfix, and consequently forward to my EMWAC (W2K) machine. The
thing is that after fetchmail completed downloading, it seems that it tried
to look for a LOCAL user where it can drop messages (but I dont have one in
this box; except the postmaster "sthay").
For further observation, I am herewith attaching .fetchmailrc, fetchmail
log, and main.cf files for your detail.
Your advice would be very much appreciated.

Pretty standard multi-drop config - looks fine.

Email collected and handed over to the local mail server. I guess the
problem is the "@localhost". Try setting smtpaddress to your local domain
name.
Alternatively, you may want to see if postfix supports the ability to
forward all email to a remote host. Certainly sendmail can do this with the
MAIL_HUB, LOCAL_RELAY and SMART_HOST options. The postfix mailing list (see
http://www.postfix.org/lists.html) may be able to help with that, if nobody
else on this list can.
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.
