Subject: [Exim] Lots more info on my pop box problem
ok after a couple of replies i realised i probly hadnt supplied enough
info, so heres a whole heap

There is an account on the machine i am installing for every user, however
there is only one box on the pop server (not mine in any way) that stores
the mail for all the name/addresses untill i pop them onto my server.

i want it to go like this
all addresses --> single mailbox --> myserver --> seperate mailboxes for
each user

at the moment it goes
all addresses --> single mailbox --> myserver --> my mailbox

it is currently retrieving the mail using fetchmail

.fetchmailrc is basic at the mo

poll servername
         user xxxxx with password passhere



to set up a test scenario i added addresses mbox01 - 5@??? (a
friends domain i borrowed for a mo) all forwarding to the mailbox
catch@??? (that should explain the addresses in the
headers below) i sent a standard mesage to each of the mbox0# addresses and
then popped the mail for catch@??? with my server that
had the real users mbox01 - 5 on it.

it still dumped it all in my mailbox. : (

this is what happens when i run fetchmail -v
