Fetchmail Configuration

[Phil Brooks]

Sorry im really new at the whole mail list forum thing, where abouts would
the example be i've had a quick search and can not find it :(

At present I run the following command:



fetchmail -d 300 -mda -v -f  '/home/mailbox/.fetchmailrc' pop.freeserve.co.uk

(so do I not need the -mda switch?)

And my fetchmailrc file looks like this:

poll pop.freeserve.co.uk
	proto pop3
	aka "myhostname.freeserve.co.uk"
	user "ISP username"
	pass "ISP password"
	nokeep
	fetchall

The problem is if for instance BOB at YAHOO.COM sends
PHIL at MYHOST.FREESERVE.CO.UK an email which is incorrectly spelt e.g
PHILLL at MYHOST.FREESERVE.CO.UK , BOB at YAHOO.COM does not get a
email back to inform him that the email was incorrectly delivered and
instead, the "UNDELVERED MESSAGE" goes back to the MAILBOX user on the
local machine.

Sorry if im crap at explaining myself (lol it is 2:56 am here)
