Well that makes two of us....No, honestly, I'm trying to set my box up as
a maildrop for a few people, partly just for the learning, partly because
I have a possible application in mind for a community group I work with.
The idea is nothing fancy, just have the system poll for and deliver mail
on a scheduled basis so that users can log in and get their mail from one
host without having to connect to the ISP in order for this to happen.
The sum of your comments is that I will try to set it up with the
fetchmail.rc and using one of the variations shown. I guess the thing is
that if you don't specify multiple users, fetchmail doesn't check
To: addresses. So in a sense, having multiple "users" signals fetchmail
to do that. Since I've only been doing one user in my tests, it just
sends to the invoking user. This seems consistant with the FAQ - which is
a bit hard to fathom even after several reads.
Providentially, I accidently crashed my Postfix and found out that
fetchmail cannot fetch without Postfix. So it IS using port 25 as the FAQ
says it does, even when only one user name is used.
Thanks for all your help. Sometimes it just helps to hear what others
have done and then the pieces fall in place.
done.
