Hello: This question is related to my previous one (help needed for setting up local mail server). I've read many docs and howtos on how to configure and set up different parts of the mail-delivering chain (exim/postfix, getmail, etc.). My current question applies to the mail host server which downloads messages from the ISP's pop/imap mailboxes, stores the messages, and the stored messages can be downloaded/viewed by LAN MUA clients. The manuals say that I have to set up a user and the messages will be downloaded for that user. But I don't want to add such user on my server. What is the way of configuring the downloader (eg getmail) if I don't want it to download the messages for a specific user? I'd like getmail to download the messages not in the name of a user but on its own to an arbitrary named mailbox folder (either mbox or maildir). Also I don't want to set up users on the server for those clients that can access these message folders . I want that the client authorize itself by login name/password on the mail server without the need of having a user login on the server. Is this possible? Briefly, just to make it clear: I want the server (getmail or fetchmail) download my messages from the mailbox user1@mail.isp.provider and store the messages in a mailbox folder named arbitrarily, eg "localuser1", without the need to add a user "localuser1" or user1" to the system. Then I want that these messages could be accessed by a MUA client (eg thunderbird through the server's pop3/imap server). Is this scenario possible?
