fethmail - multi-drop from external POP3 accounts
« on: May 22, 2004, 04:13:47 PM »
I am running SME 6.0.1

I have mail accounts at 5 different external ISP's which I would like to multidrop to my local users.

All 7 local users get mails from all external mail-domains ex:

user1@external-domain1 goes to user1@local-domain
user2@external-domain1 goes to user2@local-domain
...
user1@external-domain3 goes to user1@local-domain
user2@external-domain3 goes to user2@local-domain
...

I installed the rpm's as told in:
http://sme.swerts-knudsen.dk/howtos/howto_9.htm

but I don't know how to setup my system:

In Server-Manager "E-mails" I tryed the following settings:

E-mail retrieval mode : "MULTI-DROP"
Address of Internet provider's mail server : "mail.external-domain1"
Secondary mail server : "mail.external-domain1"
POP user account (for multi-drop) : "user-external-domain1"
POP user password (for multi-drop) : "password-external-domain1"
The rest was left as default

This made it possible to Multidrop mails from external-domain1 to all my local users.

How do I configure SME to fetch mails from the other external-domains (2-5)?

I have tryed to make some configurations in Server-Manager "Mail Users", but I can't get it to work :(

I have left the field:
ACCESS Blocking
Do you want to enable directly mail routing : "NO"

What does this mean? Should I change this?

in the Multi-Drops Systems section I pressed the "MULTI-DROP" button because I don't think I need individual settings. Is this correct?

After pressing "MULTI-DROP" button I get a new window with the following options:

Enable E-smith MultiDrop (override following) : (default YES)
Do you want to use MultiDrop System: (Default NO)

How shold I set these fields?

In the rest of the window I can specify three (I need more) Multi-drop boxes:

Multi-Drop BOX 1
Do you want to debug Multidrop 1 : No
Server Name for Multidrop 1:  "mail.external-domain2"
Account User for Multidrop 1:  "user-external-domain2"
Password for Multidrop 1:  "password-external-domain2"
domain name 1 of your company on the net: "local-domain, external-domain2" ?????
Enveloppe delimiter 1 (if any): ???  

I can't get anything out of this. What am I doing wrong?
