Hi Guys. I am trying to replace a server setup at one of our client's offices. They have a domain name, and an email account - both hosted by a 3rd party. This third party gives them a single pop3 account where all email is stored (for all <users>@domain.com), downloadable by a single user login.
Now the old setup (which I had nothing to do with) uses fetchmail to poll the server every 10 minutes, and then forwards the mail to the smtp on the localhost. I have tried to replicate this, but am hitting several disadvantages, one being that all spam messages sent to non-existing users are forwarded to the local postmaster account. I keep thinking that there must be a much more logical way to do this. When I try it without setting the postmaster messages are not bounced. How is this setup normally done? The local server has postfix running, but is *not* accessable from outside directly (firewalled). Mail will have to be polled I guess. I am using the following fetchmail conf: set postmaster "postmaster" set bouncemail set properties "" set syslog set invisible set daemon 600 poll pop3.server.com protocol POP3 checkalias timeout 30 envelope "Received:" localdomains mydomain.com user accountuser pass accountpass to * here smtphost localhost smtpaddress mydomain.com fetchall; Any advice?
