Email config problem
« on: January 27, 2004, 05:09:41 AM »
I have an email account with an ISP who is hosting my domain (user1@myispdomain.com).

I have configured E-Smith to do multidrop fetchmail. I have a local domain on a 192.168.0.0 network (mylocaldomain.com) and a local user with the same username (user1).

E-Smith collects my mail from my ISP fine via POP3, but does not deliver it to user1@mylocaldomain.com. The mail seems to simply disappear.

So, two questions:

Where might the mail that has been downloaded from my ISP be stored? Or is it "gone".

How can I configure E-Smith to map mail collected from user1@myispdomain.com to user1@mylocalcomain.com?

If I manually change /etc/fetchmail to deliver collected mail to "user1", this works, but eventually I will need to handle many users' mail and there must be a better way than multiple entries in /etc/fetchmail.

Thanks in advance
