fetchmail ignoring options

beniwtv · 07-03-2007, 07:25 AM

Hello,

I'm trying to configure fetchmail, to get e-mails from my server to my local box. Everything works fine, except that I don't want fetchmail to re-write my headers.

Here's my config (fake data):

Code:

poll mail.server.com protocol pop3 port 110 username "user@server" password "serverpass" keep no rewrite,
is root@server.com here and wants mda "/usr/local/bin/maildrop -V 5 /home/vmail/maildropcustembkp /home/vmail/xxxx/xxx/xxxxx/Maildir/"

All works well, but it just ignores the no rewrite option. I think the syntax I'm using is not correct. How must my poll line look like to get this working?

Any clue?

Thanks.

Try this:

Code:

poll mail.server.com protocol pop3 port 110 
user "user@server" there with password "serverpass" is 'root@server.com' here and wants mda "/usr/local/bin/maildrop -V 5 /home/vmail/maildropcustembkp /home/vmail/xxxx/xxx/xxxxx/Maildir/" options keep no rewrite

Some of it is in the wrong order. I'm not sure where the 'and wants...' bit should be but 'options keep no rewrite' come after the user info.

*Edit: I just had another look at my .fetchmailrc and made some changes here.

Thanks, this works now.

Now, there's another problem:

Fetchmail adds a header to the message (Received-From), something like this:

Code:

Received: from otherserver.com [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx]    by server.com with POP3 (fetchmail-6.3.4)     for <root@server.com> (single-drop); Wed, 04 Jul 2007 09:27:48 +0200 (CEST)

Now, how can I disable this? It it possible to disable?

EDIT: Never mind - I found it out - just add the --invisible option
