I suppose a bit more explanation IS in order. I own the domain pandora.org
which is hosted by an IPP. I would like for users on my local system to be
able to use the e-mail user@pandora.org. To my mind that involves
retrieving mail from my IPP's POP3 server to my local machine and then
sending it to the corresponding user on the local system where they can
either read from there or forward it on to yet another address with a
.forward file as is their choice.
I'm beginning to think I may have to use procmail but I REALLY don't want
to if I can get away with it.
TIA,
A
