[fetchmail-users] Fetchmail - resent mails

[Sylvain Le T. <syl...@ad...>]

Hello,

 

First, sorry for my English, I’m French.

 

I’m using fetchmail 6.2.4 (I know I have to upgrade it) with Qmail. They are
installed on mandrake 9.2.

I receive all my mails in ac...@do...

 

MyNetwork – qmail (mydomain.org) – fetchmail –  ac...@do... 

 


I have 3 problems with my fetchmail (but I think it’s the same, fetchmail
doesn’t read the right header), see 3 examples:

 

1 – If someone (out of my network) send a mail to us...@my... +
us...@An.... 

Fetchmail sent this mail to Qmail. 

User1 receive the mail.

Qmail re-treat this mail and sent it to user2. 

So if I receive a mail with an attachment piece (3mo) to 9 users (with 1
user of my network). Qmail will sent 8 mails * 3mo! 

I don’t know why my Qmail treat again those mails. Does Fetchmail gives
wrong informations to Qmail ?

 

2 – Sometimes I can see “undisclosed-recipients” in the recipient field in a
mail in ac...@do...

      Fetchmail doesn’t know what to do, so it’s blocked.

      What can I do to make fetchmail read the right header than the “To” of
the mail.

      I try to use “X-envelope-to:” in fetchmailrc, but I still have the
problem

 

3 – Someone send a mail from acc...@do... to :  us...@my... +
acc...@do... (same domain but different account).

      Each recipient will receive 2 same mails.

      So if someone send a mail to 6 users (with just 1 user of my network
and just 1 user of domain.com + 4 other domains), each recipient will
receive 6 mails.

     Maybe it’s the same problem than part 2. Fetchmail doesn’t read the
right header. 

     

So, Fetchmail doesn’t read the header which concern mydomain but all
recipients. So it gives bad information to Qmail which treat again those
mails. 

 

---------------------------------------------------------------

In my fetchmailrc we add the line because

mda "sed 1,2d | /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject"

At the beginning, if someone (out of my network) sends a mail to
us...@my..., user receives 2 mails. This line solves the problem.

 

fetchmailrc :

 

defaults

set no bouncemail

poll domain.mydomain.org protocol POP3

localdomains mydomain

tracepolls

#no envelope

#envelope "X-Envelope-To:"

envelope "Delivered-To:"

#qvirtual "X-Envelope-To:"

qvirtual "Delivered-To:"

username login

password loginpassword

is *

fetchall

mda "sed 1,2d | /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject"

 

poll domain.com

        proto pop3

        user "exemple"

        pass "*********"

        is us...@my...

        fetchall

----------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Thank you very much.

I hope that you can understand something of my message… it’s quite hard to
explain the problem

 

Sincerly
