I have multiple email addresses that all end up in the same mailbox. I check this mailbox via POP3 with fetchmail and all the mail is then delivered to my account on my local machine (private IP on a private LAN) via Postfix.

I've been trying to set up the mailhost system, but it kept complaining about the host entry that fetchmail adds to the envelope. In this case the hostname isn't a real address, just the name of my computer with my domain name appended.

I tried changing that to "localhost", but now spamcop wants to try and verify "myuser[at]locallhost.comain".

I could probably set up a real DNS A record for <mymachinename>.<domain> that points to an IP address, but it wouldn't be pointing to my box's real IP address since it's a private IP.

What do you guys suggest? I have several more email addresses like this to apply for, and doing a waiver for all of them will be kind of a pain.

EDIT: Probably would be helpful to attach some output:

This is for rayvd[at]corp.digitalpath.net.

corp addresses are on an Exchange server that hopefully will be retired so the config here is a bit odd.

Mail to rayvd[at]corp.digitalpath.net follows the following path:

Internet -> MX server for corp.digitalpath.net -> Exchange server -> Qmail server -> My local machine (via fetchmail, POP3 polled)

Hi!
...In the absence of there being any help from other users here, I would refer you to article Pinned: Mailhost Issues - please read before posting.

For starters, try using delivery by procmail specifying the "--invisible" option - this will keep you from adding headers for your fetchmail host.

Here is my crontab entry

QUOTE

*/10 * * * * /usr/bin/fetchmail -s --invisible MAIL-SERVER

Here is my ~/.fetchmailrc

CODE

skip MAIL-SERVER
via pop3.DOMAIN.TLD proto POP3
username "ThereName" password "There*Pass"
here "HereName"
fetchall
no keep
mimedecode
mda "/usr/bin/procmail -d %T"
