hello Brian ,
thank you for the reply and for others ,
finally i've found what is the good setup for me :
poll <server> localdomains job.com:
user toto with password toto to <my_server> * here
he work very fine now , i've only an imap server error without aborting
and the entire subdomain is deliver to my server .
I think fetchmail is very reliable and flexible but we can take
a time to read the man page because the syntax is little not clear
for newbie
