I should have mentioned the problem more explicitly:
All mail comes to pop3.demon.co.uk addressed to
username(_at_)birchwoode(_dot_)co(_dot_)uk where username is the same username as the
user on my local machine.
The problem is that whatever I pull in with fetchmail gets passed to
postmaster on my local domain instead of to the user. Fetchmail
complains in the log that it cannot match the address (eg:
ali(_at_)birchwoode(_dot_)demon(_dot_)co(_dot_)uk) to any local user which is fair enough as
my local domain is pmac-g5.norton.co.uk so the equivalent user here
would be ali(_at_)pmac-g5(_dot_)norton(_dot_)co(_dot_)uk
Question is, in multidrop mode, using a "* here" statement (since there
could be any number of users receiving email, and listing them all in a
= b statements is not a reasonable solution), how the heck to I get
fetchmail to translate birchwoode.demon.co.uk to pmac-g5.norton.co.uk
?????
Or is it postfix that I need to fix? If so, how?

That should be enough info but, if you need anything else, please just
shout!
