Re: [LUG] Mailing List Blues

Hello, any comments much appreciated.

What I want to achieve is the mailing list being sent to simon@xxxxxxxxx, not root@xxxxxxxxxxx

..

P.S. I have already played around with local domains, address re-writing and aliasing with no success.




I have managed to do this with variabl success using local domains etc. to help fetchmail strip out the intended recipient from the headers. It took a lot of trial and error though.
A couple of alternatives would be:
1. Use procmail to filter/forward the mail based on the headers that are set.
2. If you can have multiple POP3 mailboxes on your UKLinux account use a separate address for the list and use a separate singledrop fetchmail to retrieve it.


Cheers,

Pete.
