[fetchmail-users] Questions FETCHMAIL-DAEMON & qvirtual

[Neil W. <ne...@dc...>]

Hi guys,

I have two questions regarding fetchmail.

The first one is...

One of our ISP's SMTP servers is discarding all mail that comes from FETCHMAIL-DAEMON@domain so miss-addressed bounced messages aren't getting back to the 
original senders.

Is there a way to change the address that fetchmail bounces mail from(the sender address of the bounced message) instead of FETCHMAIL-DAEMON?

My next questions is...

I have a client who collects email from a multi-drop mailbox with a local domain of domain1.co.za
EG: user bla with password "blabla" is * here

At the moment I'm using "envelope To:" as the envelope, but I'd like to use "Delivered-To:" because the mail is originating from a qmail server and mail from 
mailing lists etc.(Bcc'd) mail is bouncing.

The qmail server adds on a dom...@do... so I'd like to use qvirtual "domain1.co.za-" part, but the problem is that the mailbox has multiple 
domains attached to it.

eg: localdomains: domain1.co.za domain2.co.za domain3.co.za

So I somehow need to be able to add qvirtual for each domain that the multi drop mailbox supports.

Any ideas, or examples of how this can be done?
Can this be done?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Regards

Only by changing the source AFAIK.  To be honest I'd approach the ISP
and ask them what they're playing at.

Any only halfway recent fetchmail version will use an empty envelope
sender address, avoiding that problem.

No.

Not at this time I'm afraid - send patches - or even better tell them to
stop doing that nonsense.

[fetchmail-users] Fetchmail homepage?

[Neil W. <ne...@dc...>]

I tried to go to the fetchmail homepage http://fetchmail.berlios.de/ and got the following.

Gone
The requested resource
/
is no longer available on this server and there is no forwarding address. Please remove all references to this resource.
Apache/1.3.27 Server at fetchmail.berlios.de Port 80


Has the site been moved, or is it just temporarily down?

Thanks.

Neil

Must have been temporary, because it looks fine to me right now.

It's working again now, so must have been a temp problem.
I know berlios was doing an upgrade on the 6th Sept so maybe this has something to do with it.

Thanks!

Thanks, I've upgraded it and it's now sending them from a blank address, so it's working.

Ok, I'll see what I can do.'

Thanks again Matthias!
