Yes, I can also specify this in the fetchmailrc, but it doesn't solve |
| 12 |
the problem that userA does not receive his mail if userB is not known. |
| 13 |
All this does (I believe) is forward the unknown users to another |
| 14 |
machine. There is no other machine to forward to as all the users are on |
| 15 |
this current machine itself. The unknown users I am referring to are |
| 16 |
other users from different domains (not ours) included in the To and CC |
| 17 |
fields. |

I did a lot more searching around after my initial post, and have |
| 20 |
discovered that this kind of setup is by default hopeless for multi-user |
| 21 |
mail, and multi-drop is just a make-do solution for those who have no |
| 22 |
choice. We will move this customer to an hosting company who does |
| 23 |
support separate mailboxes themselves, allowing each individual user to |
| 24 |
download only their mail, and not all in one go and have to re-split it |
| 25 |
all up again. It's |
