Hello all,
Does anyone know if its possible to set up a Qube to collect mail by POP
from more than one address please?
I can only see one place to set it up in the GUI, but I'm quite happy to
tinker through Telnet. Our ISP has just decided to authenticate users by
POP before SMTP, and we still need POP to collect mail from our own
server. (Previously they were only allowing users connecting through
their dial up service to use their smtp servers, but the change is to
allow users connecting via other networks to send email through their server).
Thanks,
Steve
The Qube uses fetchmail to retrieve remote mail. The config file for this
is located in /etc/fetchmail and is named multidrop:localdomain
You can add additional mailboxes to the file there. Fetchmail also
supports a .fetchmailrc file in a users local home directory, to enable
seperate drop boxes for seperate users. Same file format there;
e.g.
pico .fetchmailrc
poll pop.microsoft.com
user "bill"
pass "w00t"
is admin (local user for delivery)
nokeep (remove after pop)
fetchall (get all msgs avery time)
no ssl
additional servers are just appended to the text file on and on.
If you want to disable a server temporary, change the first line from poll
servername to skip servername.
