Thanks Lucy - not so much a flood of questions as a flow of wiki wisdom by
the look of it ;-)

I've been looking at the postfix log, and it seems that the problem is after
the fetchmail piece.

fetchmailrc reads
poll mail.foo.fo.com with proto POP3 username
"foo at foo.fo.com" password "foo999"

When polled with #fetchmail -vk, mail gets passed on to postfix - see
postfix log below:

So the mails get as far as postfix, but removed to somewhere other than the
relevant client inbox.  The 'Unable to relay for
root at localhost.acheson.uk.com (in reply to RCPT TO command)' is possibly
unimportant at this stage - vincent at acheson.uk.com is not yet configured to
work through kolab, and my isp requires auth before smtp send, which I've
not set up either.

Anybody got any suggestions for this baby penguin stuck half-way up the
north face of the Eiger?

Thanks

Vincent
