fectmail configuration problem maybe?


Hi

I have a catchall mailbox at my ISP and I want to use fetchmail to collect all mail and distribute it to my users here at the office. The users here are all virtual so I setup a ~/.fetcmailrc file that is the following:

set postmaster "postmaster@domain.com"
set no bouncemail
set no spambounce
set properties ""
set logfile /var/log/fetchmail.log
poll pop.domain.com proto pop3 and options no dns
aka domain.com
envelope "Delivered-To"
user "user@domain.com" there with password "password" is * here options fetchall dropdelivered

Problem is when it downloads the mail, it gets sent out immediately and not delivered to the users.

I really need some help

thank you

I just thought I would post this. I solved the issue.
All I needed to do was add smtpaddress domain.com at the end.
So my fetchmailrc files looks like this:

set postmaster "postmaster@domain.com"
set no bouncemail
set no spambounce
set properties ""
set logfile /var/log/fetchmail.log
poll pop.domain.com proto pop3 and options no dns
aka domain.com
envelope "Delivered-To"
user "user@domain.com" there with password "password" is * here options fetchall dropdelivered
smtpaddress domain.com
