Hi, i need to set up a mailbox ( postoffice@FQDN ) that fetch all mails from the MX and that is in BCC for all outgoing replyes

this is my fetchmailrc configuration:

set postmaster "postoffice"

poll mail.FQDN protocol pop3:
     username "info@FQDN" password "Password1" is "postoffice" here sslproto '';
     username "postoffice@FQDN" password "Password2" is "postoffice" here sslproto '';
     username "management@FQDN" password "Password3" is "postoffice" here sslproto '';
...etc..

and i've setup in /etc/postfix/bcc_maps

info@FQDN postoffice@FQDN
management@FQDN   postoffice@FQDN
sales_dept@FQDN postoffice@FQDN

...etc...

there is a way to set it up in SME9 ?

In server manager User panel, create the postoffice user, then forward all mail for mailog user to postoffice user

tnx janet,

and for the fetchmail config? can i use the fetchmail option in sme?

You can also use Pseudonyms, I suggest you read the Manual chapter on Pseudonyms (aliases), very useful, rather than creating more user accounts for a similar purpose.
See Manual link at top of this Forum.

...and for the fetchmail config? can i use the fetchmail option in sme?

Also look at the links at top of this Forum, see both the Contribs & the Howtos links, there are many contribs & addons including Fetchmail.
It is generally recommended not to use fetchmail as there can be issues (with the fetchmail method rather than the cointrib quality).
If you must you must, but it is better to switch over to a full smtp mail system with user accounts & IMAPS, SME supports that very well. Most external accounst eg gmail, yahoo etc can forward email to user@yourSMEserverdomain.com etc etc, so fetchmail is not really needed.

OP is asking for a different solution..

he has a catchall setup in production and he's trying to move to SME..
his customer wants to stay with catchall account, so I guess that the only way to achieve this is to use onboard feature (server-manager -> e-mail -> change e-mail reception settings -> multi drop)

I never used it nor I really know how it is supposed to work..
IMO documentation isn't clear enough on this feature..

is there anybody that can help?

partly quoting
"multidrop fetchmail can only be configured if an ISP has their mail server configured to collect all email for a domain in a single mailbox."

partly quoting the latter
"....a multidrop mailbox (which relies on your ISP (or somebody else) configuring a multidrop mailbox for your domain, i.e. a single pop or imap mailbox which receives all mail for any address at your domain, ........"

IIRC SME server then "filters" the mail into seperate email accounts based on information in the mail message.

Janet: OP is already using such a setup, i.e. his ISP does provide such a service/feature..

So just enable & configure multidrop in server manager Email panel.

sorry for delay,
unfortunately the provider not gives a multi drop mailbox...but with @stefano probably we have found a solution...after the setup i'll post the results
