Hay all again! I have a POP3 mail box, into which goes all the mail for the domain sackman.co.uk. Emails that are for me ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) I want to download using fetchmail (the mail box is being used as a multi-drop mailbox). The problem is that using fetchmail's envelope "Received" option does not work for mailing lists, as it is looking at the last Received field in the headers which is showing the address that the email was sent to (the mailing-list server that received the email and then duplicated it).
By examining the headers, I notice that my POP3 mailbox server inserts another "Received" header at the start of the email, quoting my email address. I have read all the documentation I can find on fetchmail, but can not find anyway of getting fetchmail to look at the first Received header instead of the last (note: on most emails coming through mailing lists, there are 3 or 4 received headers). As a result, all email is being download and most of it is being forwarded to 'postmaster' (which does eventually get to me), which is not how it should happen. I would love to know of the details in the .fetchmailrc file of anyone who is successfully selecting emails for themselves that are part of a mailing list (or any other information that could help!). Yours, Matthew
