Hi again,
Thank you for all the information. I understand the part where you said I
could create a script to update fetchmail config files. However if I do not
have a mailbox that catch all emails then I will have to have a mailbox for
every user on my mail server. This means that I would have to setup such
mailboxes using my ISP website! I have little experiance with mail servers
and this is the first one I am setting up and therefore I am sorry if I am
asking stupid questions; however I was wondering what type of setup do
corporations use?
Regards,
Sim085
