Lots more info on my pop box problem
ok after a couple of replies i realised i probly hadnt supplied enough
info, so heres a whole heap
There is an account on the machine i am installing for every user, however
there is only one box on the pop server (not mine in any way) that stores
the mail for all the name/addresses untill i pop them onto my server.
i want it to go like this
all addresses --> single mailbox --> myserver --> seperate mailboxes for
each user
at the moment it goes
all addresses --> single mailbox --> myserver --> my mailbox
it is currently retrieving the mail using fetchmail
.fetchmailrc is basic at the mo
poll servername
user xxxxx with password passhere
to set up a test scenario i added addresses mbox01 - 5@peterland.net.nz (a
friends domain i borrowed for a mo) all forwarding to the mailbox
catch@fizz.earthlight.co.nz (that should explain the addresses in the
headers below) i sent a standard mesage to each of the mbox0# addresses and
then popped the mail for catch@fizz.earthlight.co.nz with my server that
had the real users mbox01 - 5 on it.
it still dumped it all in my mailbox. : (
this is what happens when i run fetchmail -v
