[vchkpw] fetchmail and maildrop to a vpopmail account
I'm struggling finding a howto on a particular issue: I have a webmail/pop3 account, no IMAP. I do not run that server and only have user privs on the email account. I want to do a ONE-TIME conversion to pull the 400+ messages from this account using fetchmail (or whatever you recommend) for delivery to my vpopmail user account. I run the destination server, it runs vpopmail/courier/mysql, and has a domain with the particular ./Maildir account that I want to deliver the mail into. I was going to use fetchmail - maildrop - ./Maildir I was doing okay pulling together information to accomplish this until I realized that I didn't have a local account for maildrop since the destination account is a virtual user in vpopmail (/home/vpopmail/domains/example.com/username/Maildir) Does anybody have some guidance on where I should go to cook up a solution? All help appreciated! Thanks, Dave.

You're fine just using Fetchmail - after that, IMHO, you're overcomplicating it with maildrop :) I do fetchmail like so: /usr/local/bin/fetchmail -s -f /home/root/fetchmail/fetchmail2.rc where fetcmail2.rc contains: poll mail.com.com proto POP3 user username pass password smtpname [EMAIL PROTECTED] fetchall Basically grab anything from the remote user's mailbox and redirect it via smtp to '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'. Then your SMTP setup takes care of the delivery as if all those emails came in to your localuser originally. Rick
