I don't own the POP3 servers, the only way I can retrieve mail
from them is via POP3, hence the use of fetchmail.
I could set up fetchmail to forward the email to the local SMTP
port after it has been downloaded, but Courier smptd gives an
error when I try this. e.g.:
sam@wotan:~> fetchmail
1 message for samuel.penn at mail1-gui.server.ntli.net (2191 octets).
reading message 1 of 1 (2191 octets) ..fetchmail: SMTP error: 513 Syntax
error.
fetchmail: can't even send to sam!
If I tell fetchmail to use the maildrop mda, then I get no error,
but the email vanishes into (as far as I can tell) nowhere. Maildrop
is run (I can tell from the debug), but the email is lost.
When using maildrop, fetchmail is set up as follows:
poll pop.cable.ntl.com proto pop3:
user samuel.penn with pass password
and wants mda '/opt/courier/bin/maildrop -v 5 -d sam'
Since the email is coming from a specific account, I always want
it to go to mailbox of user sam (then get filtered into subfolders
within that mailbox).
I'm not sure whether it needs to be running in embedded mode here.

Be seeing you,
Sam.
