Hi Scott, Recent versions of fetchmail have a keyword called "smtpname" which redirects messages to a specified user address. I have a single fetchmail running as a daemon on the root account which has commands like this in it: smtpname hallenbeck at localhost or smtpname chuckh at localhost or smtpname mary at mhonline.net Not sure what your version is, but check the man page and search for "smtpname" -- it should do what you want.
