fetchmail


Hi

I use fetchmail to fetch the mail of the users on my local LAN.
Fetching mail for every user is not a problem, but one of the mail boxes
is a forwarding pop3 mail box for a registered domain.

Reading the fetchmail man pages it appears as if the mail fetched from
this mail box will be delivered to port 25, and thus evoke sendmail and
sendmail will do the rest (drop the mail in the different users mail
boxes). This is however not happening.
The user that starts fetchmail receives all the mail, regardless of whom
it is addressed to.
The man page mentions that sendmail can be used as a MDA, but adding the
arguments/switches as mentioned results in fetchmail giving a parse
error.

Using procmail as a MDA is also not working as expected.
If I send mail to more than one person at the domain, then the first
person will get both e-mails, the second person will not receive this
mail (that is using procmail as a MDA).

How do I fix this? Or where will I get more help?

All assistance/help greatly appreciated
