Ok, so what I'm doing is telling fetchmail to say that instead of
[EMAIL PROTECTED] it will be [EMAIL PROTECTED] and then configure exim to
take mail for [EMAIL PROTECTED] and then deliver that specially right? I
just want to make sure I understand what I'll be configuring and why.

Now what exactly is going on here? this as far as I can tell delivers
normal mail to users except those that we specify in the user and group
section? Then those go maildir? I'm a bit confused here.

So this is going to be hit first by exim which then calls the maildir
_delivery to anything coming from fetchmail. I think I understand this
part at least ;>
Thanks for the help. Hopefully I can leap from this to a better
understanding of the exim-fetchmail-imap systems.
