I've done this before with numerous distributions in the past. Basically you set up fetchmail to do the mail collection, and I think by default it tries to use the local delivery agents to deliver mail to local users. So you set it up as a daemon to collect mail for a number of users. Your SMTP server then looks after local delivery and for delivery to a smarthost outside your network (your ISP). I don't recall what the exact configuration parameters are for fetchmail, it's been a while since I've used it, but there is one that controls who email from a particular account gets delivered to. Once you set that, and assuming your SMTP server (exim4 in your case) is set up correctly, things should JustWork™. -- Stuart Longland (aka Redhatter, VK4MSL) I haven't lost my mind... ...it's backed up on a tape somewhere. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
