I don't actually know - I have been using it for absolutely ages; I think I got it from a newsgroup message. I suppose it worked OK when I ran fetchmail as 'gsmh' because it didn't understand the noise words and used 'gsmh' because that was the user running it.

Now I have used your syntax, I get 'gsmh@localhost' instead of 'postmaster@localhost' so the problem is solved! Thank you very much indeed!
