Subject: [gentoo-user] Multi-user pop3 mail delivery
Date: Fri, 17 Nov 2006 13:29:20 +1300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <17bd4e850611161629k53f7da19h464ffee7344692ef@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Hi Guys.
I am trying to replace a server setup at one of our client's offices.
They have a domain name, and an email account - both hosted by a 3rd
party. This third party gives them a single pop3 account where all
email is stored (for all <users>@domain.com), downloadable by a single
user login.
Now the old setup (which I had nothing to do with) uses fetchmail to
poll the server every 10 minutes, and then forwards the mail to the
smtp on the localhost.
I have tried to replicate this, but am hitting several disadvantages,
one being that all spam messages sent to non-existing users are
forwarded to the local postmaster account. I keep thinking that there
must be a much more logical way to do this. When I try it without
setting the postmaster messages are not bounced.
How is this setup normally done? The local server has postfix running,
but is *not* accessable from outside directly (firewalled). Mail will
have to be polled I guess.
I am using the following fetchmail conf:
set postmaster "postmaster" set bouncemail set properties "" set
syslog set invisible set daemon 600 poll pop3.server.com
protocol POP3
checkalias
timeout 30
envelope "Received:"
localdomains mydomain.com
user accountuser pass accountpass to * here
smtphost localhost
smtpaddress mydomain.com
fetchall;
Any advice?
Thanks in advance,
Ralph
