Use fetchmail with POP3 on a remote catch-all mailbox for local delivery
You might already have a remote POP-3 mailbox that handles all your mail. When you setup Group-Office in your office it can be very useful to save the remote mail in local mailboxes so you don’t have to buy a lot of diskspace at your mail provider and you get optimal speed when reading the mail. For this setup we assume you have installed the Group-Office Mailserver.
First setup yourdomain.com in Group-Office at the E-mail domains (postfixadmin) module. Configure all mailboxes.
Note
Use the real domain and no fake domain on the group-office server. Otherwise the mail will loop infinitely. Fetchmail will try to deliver to the real domain.
After that install fetchmail:
apt-get install fetchmail
edit /etc/default/fetchmail and change:
START_DAEMON=yes
Create or edit /etc/fetchmailrc:
poll mailserverof.provider.com localdomains yourmaildomain.com
envelope X-Envelope-To
user catchallusernam@yourdomain.com with pass yourpassword to * here smtphost localhost
limit 20480000 #Make sure the limit is set to the max message size of postfix. Otherwise it can result in fetchmail trying to get the message forever and waste resources!
Change the permissions:
chmod 0710 /etc/fetchmailrc
chown root:root /etc/fetchmailrc
Now start the deamon:
/etc/init.d/fetchmail start
You should see information logged in /var/log/mail.info.
You can find more information and configuration examples in the Fetchmail manual at https://www.fetchmail.info
