I have a dial-up account which gives me a domain name, with of course, any number of email addresses (e.g. aaa@foo.com, bbb@foo.com, etc.). But all this mail ultimately ends up in one POP3 mailbox (e.g. foo@bar.com). How can I retrieve the mail such that it is automagically split up and distributed to userids aaa, bbb, etc. on Linux? And preferably such that these userids can still use a Netscape Communicator client.

Any clues much appreciated.

In the headers, does it use Envelope-to: or something similar, if so then use fetchmail. As long as it says who the mail is for on your local machine then you can use fetchmail. Using To: is not recommended as mailing lists usualy out their address there. example for .fetchmailrc: (mutilidrop) et postmaster sean.rima set no bouncemail poll pop.server.com protocol POP3 localdomains "localdomain.com" envelope "Envelope-to:" no dns timeout 60 username "user" password "password" to * here Sean -- GPG ID (DSA) 92B9D0CF PGP2 ID 19592A0D Linux User: #124682 ICQ: 679813 To get my PGP Keys send me an empty email with retrieve as the subject My Current Uptime is 1d, 1h and 9m on Linux 2.2.14 ...See my Uptime: http://www.uptimes.net/hostinfo.html?hid=110 -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
