Fetchmail-Friends,
my ISP is using qmail to manage mail. I am using fetchmail and qmail to
manage mail to local boxes. The aim is to set up a catch-all email
account on the ISP's system and use fetchmails multi-drop feature to
deliver the mail locally. This way I can have more than the ISP allowed
5 email addresses.
With the catch-all account in place, I have sent an email from a third
party address to an email account that will not be recognised by the ISP
and therefore should land in the catch-all account. This happens
successfully, *but* when you look at the headers, there are two
'Delivered-To' fields in the header. It looks like the email is
arriving at the ISP for the intended recipient and then being forwarded
onto the catch-all account. So when fetchmail brings down email, it uses
the latest user account - which is the catch all account rather than
the intended recipient. The local qmail server then cannot find the
account gets bounced. I think that this is a qmail config error at the
ISP. Can anyone confirm that my thought process are correct? How do I go
about tackling the ISP with this one? I have no idea where to start. So
some pointers would be appreciated.
Fetchmail config looks like:
poll pop3.remotedomain.co.uk
localdomains uk.mydomain.com mydomain.com
qvirtual "pop3.remotedomain.co.uk"
envelope Delivered-To
username myname(_at_)mydoamin(_dot_)com
password secret
is * here
