Hi Guys, howzit going ?
I have already mailed the fetchmail mailing list about this hassle, I'm
really desperate to sort out this problem and was wondering if anyone in
FreeBSD-ISP had experienced the same hassle before ?
I'm running fetchmail in Multiuser mode, what happens is that when a message
comes in with a large number of recipients (like a mailing list), it fails
to recognise some of the recipients as local, this is the error I get:
X-Fetchmail-Warning: no recipient addresses matched declared local names
When a mesage comes in with one recipient it works 100% and the user gets
his/her mail.
In the fetchmail FAQ's I saw that Sendmail needs have the following added to
its sendmail.cf:
(H?P?Delivered-To: $u)
and my .fetchmailrc file added with:
envelope `"Delivered-To:"'
Here is a copy of my .fetchmailrc file and part of my sendmail.cf showing
how I have added the above fixes:
+++.fetchmailrc+++
poll mail.isp.com with protocol pop3:
no dns, aka mydomain1.com mydomain2.com mydomain3.com
`envelope "Delivered-To:"'

I have mydomain1.com, mydomain2.com and mydomain3.com declared as local
domains in my sendmail.cf.
As I mentioned earlier, when mail comes in for a couple of recipients (1->5)
it works perfectly, but when one of the users is part of a fairly large
mailing list (5->30) then the hassle starts and that message is
dropped to postmaster (root).
Please help if you can, thanx 8-)
Thanx 8-)
