Title: Multiple mail box retrival and distribution
Post by: Andre Courchesne - Consu on November 18, 2002, 09:22:08 PM

Hi,

  I have multiple mail boxes i.e.
      aaaa@somewhere.com
      bbbb@somewhere.com
      cccc@somewhere.com
      dddd@somewhere.com

  Each mailbox at the provider is accessed using POP3 and each have a separate useraccount and password.

  Can I get sme to get those e-mails and distribute them to local mailboxes? If so how, there are no options for that using the manager panels...

  If the doc is available somewhere let me know.

There is a multi-user fetchmail addon, which allows the server to check multiple outside accounts, and send the mail to a user account.

You don't happen to know the name of the module do you?

Great, works like a charm.

I know that procmail is installed with 5.5, but is it configured to scan mails? Do I simply have to add my procmail.rc file and it will use it for filtering (SPAM).

I posted a question about manually enabling procmail for the admin account not too long ago, and answered my own question. Or you can use the User Manager panel (http://www.dungog.net/sme/howto/delegate.php) to allow individuals to edit their own procmail settings. You can add default procmail entries in /etc/e-smith/templates-user-custom/.procmailrc/ also.
