I think this is a subject that others may find helpful.
Would someone care to create a wiki page with this information?
I'd like to see a Tips & Tricks page: "Using Gmail as a secondary server".
TIA to whoever takes this on. Perhaps a little collaboration is appropriate.

Hi Atul.,
1) Can you shed some light on, when you fetch all mails from the Gmail
‘catch-all’ account to QMT, how do you distribute the emails to the
users respective email boxes.
> poll pop.gmail.com
proto pop3
port 995
localdomains yourdomainname
archive yourdomainname
no dns
envelope X-Envelope-To:
qvirtual yourdomainname
user "catchallusername"
pass "catchallpassword"
is *
nokeep
fetchall
ssl
forcecr
flush
dropdelivered
X-Envelope-To & is * help to deliver all mails to respective user.
2) And when you say ‘catch-all’ account, does it mean you are having
only one account in Gmail?
> No I'm having 10 real accounts and 1 catchall account.
3) How do you handle the spam mails that come to this ‘catch-all’ account?
> Google Anti-Spam works pretty good, at least I didn't find any
problem. And in my case Google server is on secondary priority, so
genuine mails directly come to my QMT first. So all spam mails which are
directly sent on google server doesn't come to my server and google
anti-spam put those spam mails in its SPAM folder.
4) Also with respect to the below thread, how do we handle scenarios
given by me when we have few email boxes in Gmail and some in QMT?
> Pretty tough to answer, but I would suggest go in reversible way. For
example, if amit is the id which you want on google server and atul is
the id which you want on QMT server then create amit as real id on both
google as well as QMT server. Keep MX priority for QMT server. Now there
is fetchmail option in google so fetch all mails of amit from QMT server
to Google server. And only provide Google server details to user so he
will always send mail from google server.
Regards,
Amit
