That's called a multidrop mailbox. Why don't you find some literature dealing with them? Start with the fetchmail man page, which has a section on multidrops. > it is hosted in USA server.

I also have some poll yourusaserver.com username something pass somethingelse is * here; is good enough to handle multidrop mailboxes. Customise as per your needs. To use port 26, run fetchmail with the -S localhost/26 option. > users like [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED] but they are real POP3 A/c on > server. so i don't want to fetch mail from that a/c as they are not local. Hmm. I don't understand this. If they are separate mailboxes on your server, then don't poll them, simple. > one more thing is required in my setup is that at the time of sending mail > from outlook/eudora to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED] via qmail should go > to my USA Server and others being local a/c should be kept to respective a/c. That, unfortunately, is not possible (at least, in an easy way, using only the MTA). You are better off subdomaining abc.com to delhi.abc.com, chennai.abc.com etc. A simple kludge would be: Have these accounts local. Run fetchmail for these accounts, to push the mails to the remote server. poll localhost user delhi pass somepass smtpname [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Run fetchmail with -S yourusaserver.com option. Putting both pieces together, you have a fetchmail.conf file like this: poll usaserver.com user abc pass abcpass smtphost localhost/26 is * here; poll localhost interval 5 user delhi pass delhipass smtphost usaserver.com smtpname [EMAIL PROTECTED]; > Please advice me how to plan for this situation.

If you are averse to using the de facto MTA sendmail, try one of the more actively developed alternatives like Exim, Postfix or Courier. They all have tailor made anti-virus software available, or an easy way to hook into Linux AV products.
