In addition, DNS lookup is critical enough on a mail server that postmasters are usually better off running at least a cache DNS server on the same or a nearby machine.

AFAICR, it is very flexible and works more reliably than, say, msPOP3connector. Ask on the fetchmail-users mailing list for specific details. At any rate, you'll have to configure addresses translation, e.g. mail retrieved from a account OLD will be sent to account NEW at a local domain. Use testmxlookup to verify the domain. Note that OLD and NEW cannot be at the same domain, otherwise mail to NEW will be routed to your ISP's server by the same logic that brought it there the first time. That logic is described in section "5.1. Locating the Target Host" of SMTP http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5321#section-5.1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
