    i've been using fetchmail for quite some time now. but i've run into a
    problem. i had to switch providers recently and my username went from
    jlwallen to jlwallen@monkeypantz.net (my domain but now being hosted by
    someone other than myself - i was busted by my isp for having servers
    running).

    now that my username for mail has changed i can get fetchmail to fetch
    the mail but since there is no user named jlwallen@monkeypantz.net on my
    machine - i can't actually deliver the mail locally.

    is there a way i can configure fetchmail around this? or am i going to
    have to set up a user jlwallen@monkeypantz.net on this machine?

    thanks for any help.
