Hello,
I am trying to set up fetchmail to receive mails from an external
domain www.2edalton.nl to my linux redhat 7.3 server locally and want
the mail be split to the existing users on the linux server.
All the mails are received but deliverd to the postmaster.
I have tried a lot of combinations for the .fetchmailrc config file.
This is what I think should work:

poll mail.2edalton.nl
localdomains node11500.a2000.nl:
user <userid> pass <secret> to * here

I have created some users on the node11500 machine and they can
receive mail from outside and I can send mail with pine to each other,
so that makes me think sendmail is functioning ok.

If I execute the fetchmail -a -k -v -v command I see the following:
fetchmail: About to rewrite To: fred@2edalton.nl
Rewritten version is To: fred@2edalton.nl

fetchmail: no local matches, forwarding to postmaster
fetchmail: forwarding to localhost

The user fred is there and has got mail from outside.

Can someone pinpoint me to the right combination of keywords?
Thanks and kind regards Fred Stuurman.
