No, not for receiving.
When I say I mirrored, I mean I duplicated the account
names so fetchmail gets the mail for *that* particular
user. I could in time have a single mail polling
session to get all the mail, but I'm not worried about
that right now.
And yes, I mean LOGIN and authenticate. How would I
authenticate for different accounts? I have several
for different purposes, and I want replies in that
account to go back out that account, not over my main,
which still remains relatively spam-free.
So, how do I authenticate differently for different
accounts?
