[lug] Fetchmail Multidrop Problems

[Stephen Kemler]

LUG Members,

First, let me say that I am new to the list and Boulder, and want to thank everyone in advance for any assistance you might be able to give me.  Hopefully, I will be able to give back some as well.  So, on to my question.

I have a mail system that consists of two servers.  The external mail server sits in a DMZ, runs qmail, and accepts any mail destined for the domain the mail server is on.  The internal server then queries the external server using fetchmail, and passes the messages to the local qmail for delivery.  So, the mail on the external server is all dumped into one mailbox and leaves fetchmail to sort out the details.

Here is my .fetchmailrc on the internal server:

poll  10.1.5.11 with proto POP3
localdomains athersys.com
no dns
qvirtual athersys-
envelope Delivered-To:
user "athersysmail" with password "(*&(*&(*&!#" is * here

In this configuration, all mail that has the local address in the To: or Cc: headers gets delivered.  However, mails from most mailing lists bounce.  I have read all the docs, and am at kind of a lose for why this doesnt work correctly.  If you need more info let me know, otherwise, thanks for any assistance you can offer,

Stephen Kemler
