Hi,

Anybody got a multidrop fetchmail scenario working ? I'd appreciate some pointers since I still can't get the mail distributed properly.

Fetchmail does it's bit getting the mail to my machine, but mail for all ID's ends up in root's mailbox.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Hi all,

I've made progress ! If I add the line "to Justin_Webb=justin here" to my fetchmailrc, mail for me ends up in my mailbox and other mail ends up at the postmaster.

The dilema is that I need to do this for 5 email address, but adding "to user_one = uid1 user_two = uid2 here" doesn't work.

Adding a second server to client mapping cause both to fail and be delivered to the postmaster.

Any ideas ?

Thanks in advance,

Justin Webb.

Hello Justin,

I don't have a solution for you but I do have exactly the same problem. I have seen a working version of fetchmail deliver messages to multiple users running under a Slackware release. The fetchmailrc file contained a line with "* here" after the poll command, but I can't get it to work with RH5.2. If anyone can help, it will be much appreciated.

How about some examples for multidrop, some common errors or the faq?

HTH somehow

I currently check 4 email accounts and place them in certain user accounts locally. The following is my fetchmailrc file:

# Configuration created Sun Mar 3 00:23:41 2002 by fetchmailconf
set postmaster "postmaster"
set bouncemail
set no spambounce
set properties ""
poll mail.rfsi.com
user 'username' there with password 'user password' is 'rfsi' here
user 'username' there with password 'user password' is 'sales' here
user 'username' there with password 'user password' is 'service' here
user 'username' there with password 'user password' is 'parts' here

You will want to replace username and user password with the correct info that is required to get your emails. Be sure to leave the quotes as they are needed.

Hope this helps,
Lee

Hi

This is what you need in you .fetchmailrc script.
If you do not want your mail to end up in the root mailbox then make sure to have the "aka" part scripted.

set daemon 600
set postmaster "postmaster"
set bouncemail
set nospambounce

poll pop.xxxxx.xx.xx ( remote pop server )
proto POP3
aka yourdomain.co.za ( this tells fetchmail who you are )
user "multidrop@xxxxx.xx.xx"
pass "xxxxx"
is * ( this will drop mail in the correct mailbox )

Make sure to use fetchmail version 6.2.0, because the latest versions duplicate mail.
Try using webmin as well.
This is very easy.
I'm running 2 fetchmail server with 100% success.

If you need more info mail me at jean.snyman@gmail.com

This configuration is not working with Fetchmail 6.3.9 latest version.
Could you please help us to figure out a working solution for distributing all mails from our catch all account to Zimbra server.

Do we need to create aliases at Zimbra, then how?

Our external mail server: mail.external.com
Our Internal Zimbra domain: internal.zimbra

So all mails we get at catch all account @external.com should distribute to respective users @internal.zimbra.

Please help.
