Fetchmail question about copying to another user
Hi I know that in some earlier version of fetchmail I was able to get POP3 mail from ISP and copy it to 2 different local user. This does not seem to be possible with the fetchmail that comes with SuSE 7.2. Is that so, or am I missing something? I try to set it up also with webmin, that has the function too, but it only get the e-mails for the last user on the list. Jaska.

Jaska.
I think you missed the step where procmail is used to distribute the mail. I pull mail from 4 different pop's and distribute it to many different boxes. Fetchmail does the pull, procmail distributes. -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ + Bruce S.

Hi there, I just install SuSE 7.3 on my 'home server' machine & I found out that fetchmail can be used to distribute to many different user. It's also in the manual. In the Network: 3.9 Retrieving External Mailboxes with fetchmail. page 99. here is the sample .fetchmailrc poll pop.user1_isp.com proto pop3 user user1_username pass user1_password is user user1_acct poll pop.user2_isp.com proto pop3 user user2_username pass user2_password is user user2_acct the key here is to use *is* to distribute it. Sorry if this has been discused before.
