[NTLUG:Discuss] sendmail/fetchmail configuration problem

[Billy Tiblets]

I'm trying to set up a linux machine for e-mail and internet access for a small office.  I have Redhat 6.1, I'm using fetchmail to retrieve mail from our ISP over a DSL line. I'm also using firewalling and sendmail.  After climbing a very steep learning curve I have managed to get to the point where (a)  internal machines have access to the internet, (b) internal machines can e-mail out over the internet, (c) our e-mail is downloaded to the server, but it goes to root only.  My problem is that I don't know how to get fetchmail (or sendmail) to put the mail in each user's mail folder.  When I examine the mail in root which should have gone to Elizabeth there is this warning message:



 X-Fetchmail Warning:  recipient address Elizabeth at dfwcpa.com didn't match any local name

 

My /root/. fetchmailrc contains the following:

 

set syslog

set postmaster "postmaster"

set nobouncemail

set daemon 60

poll imagin.net with proto POP3 user "dfwcpa" there with password "pass" is elizabeth tiblets here options fetchall warning 3600 

 

antispam 571 550 501 554

 

My /etc/aliases is:

 

postmaster:   root

billy:    tiblets at dfwcpa.com

tiblets:    tiblets at dfwcpa.com

elizabeth:     elizabeth at dfwcpa.com

 

My /etc/hosts is:

 

127.0.0.1    localhost

192.168.0.2 elizabeth.dfwcpa.com       elizabeth

192.168.0.1 server.dfwcpa.com           server

192.168.0.3 tiblets.dfwcpa.com            tiblets

216.2.131.4 dfwcpa.imagin.net             dfwcpa

 

My sendmail.cw file:

 

dfwcpa.com

server.dfwcpa.com

 

My /etc/resolv.conf is:

 

Search  dfwcpa.com

nameserver 207.18.228.2

nameserver 207.18.228.4

 

My nsswitch.conf file is:

 

hosts:  files nisplus nis dns

 

I know that the answer is probably very simple but I have read everything I can find about fetchmail (several times) but I can't find the answer.  Please help!!
