First things first - does each user have a separate popmail box or is
*@brisk-india.com routed to a single popbox from where you have to distribute
it locally?
If each user has a separate popbox, create local users for everybody and
defaults
forcecr
poll popserver with proto pop3
user user1 with pass pass1 is user localuser1 here
user user2 with pass pass2 is user localuser2 here
[blah blah blah]
If everything is dumped in one mailbox, it's a royal pain (and this solution is
not guaranteed failproof - so check if your webhost supports ETRN instead -
rtfm at http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/fetchmail)
If you want to do it using fetchmail,
defaults
forcecr
poll popserver with proto pop3
user mailboxname with pass PaSsWoRd is user * here mda "/usr/sbin/sendmail -oem -f %F
%T"
You can also use "/usr/bin/deliver" or "/usr/bin/procmail -d %T" though the
last is a waste of time as sendmail anyway hands off mail to procmail for local
delivery (at least on linux systems)
