Rob thanks for the reply i have read that FM ;-) but
multi-drop stuff is
not for me as my system currently handls something around 50 users and
it's very
insufficient to use this approach (currently i use procmail
for delivery
which is more or less the same as multi drop feature). I have
postfix (it
acts as MX for number of domains as well) and it perfectly
delivers mail
to local users and forwards it to virtual ones. I don't see
any reasons
why I should maintain two MDA (currently postfix &
procmail). What I need
is a simple solution which would substitute fetchmail or
someone who knons
C well enough to "fix" that bug ;-) (where fetchmail changes mail from
value)...
Ok, time for a quick SMTP brushup - let me know if I'm teaching you to suck
eggs...
The headers are purely for user and mail client convenience - the delivery
information is actually part of the SMTP protocol. This means that by the
time fetchmail gets the mail the original information is lost. Fetchmail
tries to recreate it by using the headers, and passes that over to the MTA.
Oh, and I'm pretty sure postfix is an MTA, not an MDA.
Maybe if you detailed exactly how fetchmail is "broken" for what you're
trying to do? So far you've given no indication of why it's not working for
you.
PLEASE - keep list traffic on the list. Email sent directly to me may be
ignored utterly.
