Hi... I am trying to retrive mails using fetchmail and then 
deleiver it 
locally using sendmail. I found that fetchmail adds the 
following header in 
every messages that it retrives from the pop server.

Received: from localhost (localhost.localdomain [127.0.0.1])
        by localhost.localdomain (8.12.5/8.12.5) with ESMTP 
id i5QIldIr030563
        for <root(_at_)localhost>; Sun, 27 Jun 2004 00:32:39 +0545

Actually, I think you'll find that that's sendmail, not fetchmail, that
adds that header.

I am running fetchmail as root user so it has modified the 
recepient to 
root(_at_)localhost(_dot_) Isn't there any way so that fetchmail retains 
the original 
recepient ? I tried  -n and --invisible options but they didn't help.

Sorry, the crystal ball seems to be broken...

Version of fetchmail?
Contents of fetchmailrc?
Output from a mail received with "fetchmail -v -v"?


PLEASE - keep list traffic on the list.  Email sent directly to me may
be ignored utterly.
