If I leave the smtphost part out, fetchmail tries to go to localhost port 25 which is the relay host and the email disappears, probably because spam is not a valid relay destination.
I have another server on port 26 that will deliver spam locally, but I can't seem to tell fetchmail to go to a different port. Even if I add an IP address and a REDIRECT rule, fetchmail is rejected. Maybe I need to add the name of the other IP address to the port 26 Postfix server? I don't understand why fetchmail has to use an SMTP server to deliver mail locally. I also don't get why the email showed up on the right machine when I had a .forward file feeding it to procmail. A thought is to use procmail somehow on the mail hub to redirect, change the to address to spam at relay hostname. If email hits port 25 on the internal address of the relay, it gets redirected to port 26 automatically and my problem is solved. Well, getting email to sc_mailfilter.pl is only one problem. Note that forwarding the email where the source address changes defeats the whole purpose of sending the spam to sc_mailfilter.pl. Also note that there are two gateways which rules out a .forward file on the mailhub. I'm currently using fetchmail on the mail hub to get spam into the spam account. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
