OK, I'm stumped with this one. I am trying to set up a home email server
with Mepis SOHO to filter ISP email for the family. All that is required is
for the server to fetch the mail from the ISP, scan it, and store it
locally in the users accounts where they can retrieve it from their
computers.
On the server, root can send mail to any user, and any user can send to
another user. And the users can read their emails on the server. That part
works fine.
>From the other computers, users can read their email that is on the server.
That part is working fine.
So I set fetchmail to get mail from the ISP pop server. Fetchmail gets the
mail, spamassassin runs, and the mail disappears. The server logs say that
the mail is being bounced because it can't find a user to deliver to and
that there is not a fqdn. Postfix is not configured to send to the ISP so
it doesn't actually bounce, and fetchmail seems to be unable to hand off
mail to the user accounts, so the mail is lost.
What is wrong with the configuration that local mail works until fetchmail
gets mail from the ISP? And why is fetchmail unable to find the user
accounts?
