FDM System-wide

I tried using FDM and i love it. However, I did a thorough Google search and this forum for a solution to my issue but could not find any answer. I hope someone will be able to assist me with a solution.

Am wondering if it is possible for FDM to fetch mails from an ISP Domain box (multidrop/catchall mailbox) that holds mails for several users , and then hand them to Postfix that has Dovecot LDA delivery configured. The mails will then be delivered (by Dovecot's LDA) to respective users. I use Fetchmail (that is able to do this), but there are some issues with it, (like sometimes it gets stuck on large mails, etc).

Here I illustrate my current Fetchmail System-wide setup's /etc/fetchmailrc file:

#------------------------------------------------------#
# /etc/fetchmailrc
#
set postmaster postmaster@abc.net
set no bouncemail
set daemon 300
set logfile =  "/var/log/fetchmail.log"

poll isp.domain.com proto pop3
localdomains abc.net
no dns
no envelope

user domain_mbox_username
pass domain_mbox_passwd
is * here

#--------------------------------------------------------#

In the above fetchmailrc, "is * here*,  * is aliased to our catchall account in our local postfix server. The ISP domain mailbox is configured as a catch-all domain and it holds our users emails (several different email addresses but all "@abc.net")

I couldnt find a way to do this with FDM since I am limited to delivering to mbox/maildir directly, and the way I understand it is that I would have to create individual inbox references. This would be tedious if we have some hundreds pop3  local mailboxes, ( I might be wrong in my assumption).

With my current setup, aliasing to the catchall account automatically distributes to respective mailboxes by reading the mail headers. (and also am not very good in coding, please treat me like a newbie )

Looking forward to your assistance.

Thanks and regards,

Clemo
