[fetchmail-users] How not to download mail for non-existing users?

[Ivan I. <nos...@ml...>]

My ISP forwards all mail for my domain at one account. I than use
fetchmail to download all mail to my box, MailScanner to scan for
spam and viruses (for winblows users) and sendmail distribute it to
users on local network. Hire is my .fetchmailrc:

# Configuration created Mon Dec  1 12:45:17 2003 by fetchmailconf
set logfile "/var/log/fetchMailByIva"
set postmaster "iva"
# set nobouncemail
set no spambounce
set properties ""

poll pop3.ourisp.net with proto POP3:
        localdomains ourdomain.org
       user 'ouruseratisp' there with password 'pass' is * here

It's a low traffic on dial-up connection. Fedora Core 1 (about to be
replaced with Debian etch).

Now to the problem. Recently we started to receive a lot of (large) mail
that is for the users that do not exist (do not have accounts) on local
mail server. Since this takes a lot of dial-up time, I was wondering if
there is a possibility for fetchmail to delete such mail.



Hire is a log of (small) unwanted mail:

As you can see mail was delivered to iva@localhost (me) as it is set in
~/.fetchmailrc. I can set postmaster to empty string, but mail still
gets downloaded (which is what I am trying to avoid), it only gets
discarded.
