Summary: Alias listing in fetchmail -- Feature request
Initial Comment:
Hi all,
It would be interesting to have also aliases listed in fetchmail rules.
That way, we could fetch email from one account and dispatch to mutliple mailboxes.
Thanks.
Regards,
Rémi

Hi Christian,
Thanks for your reply.
I think my setup looks like your workaround. In my case I have this kind
of setup:
- ro...@my...d
- su...@my...d
- bo...@my...d which is an alias to robert + susan
where mydomain.tld is my local postfix. So here, the alias is done for
local delivery but I understand your point if the domain would have been
anotherdomain.tld.
By the way, I found a workaround which is to insert manually
bo...@my...d in the fetchmail table. But it's still less practical
than selecting bo...@my...d in "Fetch email -> New entry -> Mail box"
;-)

Let me think about this a bit - even if I understand your request, it is a
call for trouble (like using an alias as target that sends the mail back to
the external address, where it must be fetched again).
Only offering mailboxes as targets mostly avoids this problem.
However there is a workaround - every mailbox has an alias. If you edit
this alias, you can add more than one target address and get the behaviour
you want.
