I'm trying to set up qmail with fetchmail to check pop3 server on
usa.net and send mail through my isp's server, using mailx to
display/edit mail.

My address on mindspring is [EMAIL PROTECTED] and usa.net address

is [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note there's 1 more 'l' in usa.net address).
Mindspring's server is mail.mindspring.com while usa.net's server is
pop.netaddress.com. My hostname is set to silmarill.users.mindspring.com

I followed qmail INSTALL file and "how to make qmail work with dial-up"
at
http://home.earthlink.net/~dougvw/mailqueue.html, installing 2
additional packages they recommend.

My configuration is as follows:

~alias/pppdir

~alias/.qmail-mindspring-silmarill
            &[EMAIL PROTECTED]

~alias/.qmail-ppp-default
            ./pppdir

other aliases as recommended in INSTALL file

in /var/qmail/control
    rcpthosts
            localhost.mindspring.com
            silmarill.user.mindspring.com
    virtualdomains
            :alias-ppp
            [EMAIL PROTECTED]:alias-mindspring

~/.fetchmailrc
            poll pop.netaddress.com proto pop3 username sillmarill
password <mypass> forcecr

Locally everything works fine, but when I do:
$ echo to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject
I dont' receive the mail in messenger (messenger is works when i send
emails from messenger), even though /var/adm/messages says:
silmarill qmail: <various numbers> delivery 21: success:
204.68.24.19_accepted_message.

When I send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] from messenger and try to get
this mail with fetchmail, here's what I see:

$ fetchmail
fetchmail: Syntax error
1 message for sillmarill at pop.netaddress.com (772 octets).
reading message 1 of 1 (772 octets) fetchmail: SMTP listener doesn't
like recipient address `r@localhost'
fetchmail: can't even send to r!
