Courier doesn't need to handle that "internally". Fetchmail configurations generally look like: user "name" with password "pass" there is "localuser" here; So, for each account you fetch, you can specify who the local user is. Fetchmail tells courier who the mail is for, and no special setup is required. > The mail users should be able to read the mail messages from my mail server > WITHOUT having to have a unix user account on the server.
