[Fetchmail-users] Notifying users about mail retrieval problems

[Christian S. <me...@cs...>]

Hi folks,

I have multiple user entries in one fetchmail configuration file. The entries look like the following:

```
poll “source.example.com"
	proto IMAP
	port 143
	user “de...@so... <mailto:de...@so...>"
	password "demo1"
	smtphost localhost smtpname us...@my... <mailto:de...@my...>
	keep
	idle
```

I want my users to be individually notified via e-mail if fetchmail cannot connect to the host that is polled.
Example: If fetchmail cannot connect / log in to source.example.com <http://source.example.com/> with the given credentials, I want a notification going straight to us...@my... <mailto:us...@my...>. (I guarantee this mail address exists).

From what I can tell, the `set bouncemail` and `set postmaster <postmaster mail address>` option seem to be good starting points, but neither configuration option seems to have any effect.

The OS is a Debian Jessie.

If you have any suggestion how to solve the problem, I would be happy to hear from you.

Thanks,

Christian
