[fetchmail]domain mailbox (so called)

2005-02-15 01:17:57
Hi,
My friend is retriving mails from a (so called) domain mailbox. This
particular mailbox is a catchall account for the domain. It does not
record envelope recipents address properly, so fetchmail makes a 
guess at intended recipents from "to" or "cc" addresses. We have 
compiled release 6.2.5+NLS.
The fetchmailrc looks like,

set postmaster "priya"
poll example.com with proto POP3 nodns
user 'catchall' with password 'x' is 'accounts' 'puja' 'hrm' 'priya' 
'madhu' ....... here options fetchall 

But most of the times I receive mails in postmaster account with 
error in headers,
X-Fetchmail-Warning: recipient address madhu(_at_)example(_dot_)com didn't 
match 
any local name
X-Fetchmail-Warning: recipient address puja(_at_)example(_dot_)com didn't match
any local name

The MTA is qmail. For me it seems when fetchmail rewrite the envelope 
receipent as puja(_at_)localhost the mail is delivered properly but not 
when it rewrites it as puja(_at_)example(_dot_)com and so on.

How do I rectify this problem?
She cannot move away to another (remote) mailserver for now so this  
is not an option.

With warm regards,
-Payal
