I suppose it is. Surely you can map external email-names to
local ones, I am not sure about ability to send one mail to
many recipients (the "group" - maybe just defining processing
of some external email-name many times would do it), for the
auto-answer: fetchmail can be configured to invoke a script
(or program) when a mail arrives - yet again: can it process
one mail in many ways, i.e. by a script which sends answer
and be put in "boss" account? can some external email-names
be processed by a scripts, different for each name, and the
other just stored in mailboxes? I simply don't remember it,
but in worst case you can write separate config file for
every external email-name and invoke fetchmail 10 times...
>How can I configure this?
Seems it has some config file like .fetchmail.rc in user's
home directory, and it is default, a parameter can change it.
I remember I managed to write it properly after few hours.
(I do not know how to answer other your questions)
