How do I ..... ( mailboxes and poping )
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
which is a bad thing as its not my mail
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
