Hi @all

I've following problem:

I want Fetchmail/Getmail to collect Mails from a multidrop mail-account and forward it to an MS Exchange Server. However Fetchmail doesn't do this very well. Wrong distribution, lost mails, and so on.

Now I've heard getmail would do this better. But in this case, I haven't found any docu for how to forward mails to ms exchange.

Many thanks in advance

Hi.

Are you interested in any feedback regarding fetchmail or only on a link to getmail docs?
In any case, you might want to present some details of the config so that anyone can try to understand better what you're trying to do and identify any issues with the config.

It would be fine, when fetchmail could do the thing!

here my .fetchmailrc:
Code:

set postmaster "administrator@mydomain.org"

set no bouncemail

defaults
no dns

poll "mydomain.org" with proto POP3 envelope "Envelope-for:"
localdomains "mydomain.org" "my.local" "third.tld"
user "abcd"
pass "efgh"
to * here
smtpaddress "my.local"
smtphost "192.168.1.2"
sslproto ssl23



This works "fine" in general. But everyday the administrator receives mails where the recipient adress is replaced with the sender adress. And therefore the mail could not be forwaded.


On getmail, i want to see the snippet of code for forwarding mails to ms exchange. And yes I've read the getmail documentation. There's only written that this works, but not explained how!
