Ok I want to set up a backup mail server, and I want my main server to fetch
any mail that goes to it.

 

I’ll have both servers connected to the same DB with my user accounts.  In
fetchmail configuration there’s an option to use “alllocal”  for all local
accounts, which’s perfect for me.

 

However, that section specifies a “password” field.  What exactly is that
field?  Are all my accounts supposed to have the same password?  Or how does
this work?

 

Besides, all passwords are stored as hash, so how is this fetching possible?

 

 

……… I just read this:  HYPERLINK
"http://james.apache.org/server/fetchmail_configuration_2_2.html#alllocal"ht
tp://james.apache.org/server/fetchmail_configuration_2_2.html#alllocal

 

So all accounts must have the same password, huh?  Not very secure, why even
implement this sort of thing?

 

Does anybody have a setup with a backup mail server?  How do you do it?
