I assume that I can get my MTA to add this, even though it is routed via
my ISP? Sounds like I can, will do some work with postfix (or pick up on
what you have detailed below).
Uh, no, because in using fetchmail (rather than an SMTP delivery), you're
fetching the messages from a POP/IMAP mailbox which no longer has
_envelope_ information in it: if your ISP doesn't put it there, where do
you figure your local system is going to pull it from in order to locally
add it?
SMTP transmission of the messages is different (where I mentioned you could
get a friend - or your ISP - to provide secondary MX services for you and
queue your messages until your machine was online and registered through a
dynamic DNS service), since the envelope data is retained as part of the
mail queue.
If you understood these protocols, the various factors involved with using
one POP mailbox in this fashion (plussed or otherwise) would be a lot
easier to recognize.
Will do .........so far I haven't "lost" any of the wife's
mail.........which is a good thing....trust me!
I neglected to point out that the delivery alias (onepop) can deliver to a
file *AND* to a program - basically providing you with a backup of the
entire mailspool as you sort things out. This is most notably of benefit
when your invocation or permissions on the procmail rcfile is boffed, where
procmail itself wouldn't be able to use a 'c'opy recipe to produce a backup.
onepop: /path/to/backupfile, "|/usr/bin/procmail -m
/etc/genericprocmailrcs/onepop.rc"
