I don't really want to create another account if I can help it, but I tried making an alias for tht user in /etc/aliases but that didn't work either. It is just that the mail I recieve at my isp mail account can have up to 5 seperate email addresses but the are all sent to the one mail box, (i.e. I have one for webmaster, myself), so that would mean i would have to create an account for each email name i can have. Is there a way to tell fetchmail that the isp mail name relates to a different name on my box? I know that the error is being causes be exim as fetchmail defaults to send the mail to port 25.
