Topic: FetchMail not routing BCC messages

[jgr]

Messages addressed to an undisclosed list (BCC) are being routed to the postmaster account. This system started with version 5.5, upgraded to 5.6, upgraded to 6.0, upgraded to 6.0.1 with all updates applied to each version as they became available. The problem started with the upgrade to the 6.0 version. This system is using multi-pop for mail retrieval.

The /etc/fetchmail script was changed from version 5.6:
-------
  no dns
  localdomains domain.com
-------

to version 6.0:
-------
  no dns
  localdomains domain.com domain.com
-------

I got it to work by making the following changes:
-------
#  no dns
   aka isp_mail_server.isp_domain.com
   localdomains domain.com domain.com
-------

Changing it to match the 5.6 version did not fix the problem.

Any ideas?

Also, where is the template file that this is created from?

TIA, jgr

I solved a similar problem by changing the email sort (in the server-manager/email parameters) to become 'X-Envelope:'.
It appears (and Im no expert here) that a variety of wrappers are on emails, and can be accessed in this way: why it used to work and then did not is beyond me though - I hope this helps   Rob

This fix worked -- thanks, Rob.

And, the template file is at:
  /etc/e-smith/templates/etc/fetchmail/50multi-drop
