That is no problem sean, you can add local users (with aliases matching those mailadresses you have) to your dbmail installation and use fetchmail to download messages from different servers. Then you make fetchmail pipe them directly to dbmail-smtp and your part of the job is done.
;-) I have been running dbmail for almost two years now and have at this point over 400 different domains and 1800 users, so i recond it will push your mails without any trouble. @:-] Regards, Bjorn Knudsen HiperCom AS Norway -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Sean Hogston Sent: 24. oktober 2003 23:08 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Re[2]: [Dbmail] New user questions that sounds sort of what I am trying to do. I have about 6 different addresses because they all relate to different things. I guess my main goal is to store all those messages centrally in a single database so I can search for messaages etc. I will still need to send mail out as any one of those accounts. The reason I was using fetchmail is that i dont have control of all the domains. Mail will come to different accounts on several different servers and i just want to pull my mail into this not everyone that has accounts on that domain. sean On Fri, 2003-10-24 at 16:54, Jeff Brenton wrote: > Hello Sean, > > SH> That sounds great.
