mail gathering

[vinz]

Hi.

OK I have a problem.... I can't figure this out... I'm useing powermail
[url]www.powerdns.com[/url]
to hand my pop3 mail system.

what i need to do is to download all mail from my pop3 server on the
internet mail.webonline.co.za
and bring it to my local pop3 server localhost.

fetchmail only allows me to download mail to root but i want to put the mail
into my pop3 account how do i go about doing this and what program can i use
?

If I understand the Powermail stuff he may not have an account on his
server.

Vinz, take a look at the "--smtpname" option of fetchmail. You can
also do the same in a fetchmail configuration file. Look at the man
page for fetchmail and the "CONFIGURATION EXAMPLES" where they specify
separate user IDs for the remote system (pop3 server) and the local
machine.

If I understand your question rightly, I'm pretty sure fetchmail *will*
do this.
With fetchmail's configuration, you can specify that mail from a
particular remote POP mailbox goes to a particular local user.
That local user can then POP the mail from your machine if you're
running a POP server, of course.

Personally, I have fetchmail running in daemon mode, checking several
different remote POP boxes and handing off to exim to deliver to the
appropriate local user(s).

Maybe take a look through fetchmail's manpage, paying particular
attention to the "Configuration Examples" section.
