    Is there an easy way to have fetchmail get mail from a remote server
    then have sendmail push it back out to another server? If I did not have
    to make an account for each address that would be ideal.

    I have a local server setup and it thinks its email.foobar.com and its
    working great. I use fetchmail to get mail from the real server using
    the real server's IP address, and everyone in the office can see their
    mail and can send mail to each other. The problem is that since the
    fake server thinks it's the real server, I can't deliver mail from the
    fake server to the real server. (Since the fake server thinks its
    foobar.com, anything @foobar.com stays on the local network.) Since I
    have no control over the real server I would like to use a 3rd server
    (my debian server) to fetchmail (via a ssh tunnel) from the fake server
    and send it to the real foobar.com server. Kind of complicated but I
    think it would work well.

    Thanks for any help,
    Jody
