that fixed it, thanks! I also took the opportunity to remove global execute permission on maildrop. ;-)

I wonder if it might be due to "wwt@localhost" as the address fetchmail tries to use... but I haven't read enough to figure out how to force something else so far. Any ideas?

Yeah, that's the problem. Fetchmail is sticking a "localhost" as the domain since nothing is specified. You do need to have fetchmail speak smtp to courier to get the global filtering. So now you just need fetchmail to map user names properly.

There are a couple of ways to do this. You can explicitly list out which remote account should be mapped to which local account.

user "user" with pass "pass" is [2]"my-u...@mydomain.com" here

Now all mail from the "user" account on the remote server will be sent to courier as

RCPT TO: [3]<my_u...@mydomain.com>

You can also use the "smtpaddress" option to specify the domain that is added. So "smtpaddress mydomain.com" will result in the above logged message being sent to courier as

RCPT TO: [4]<ww...@mydomain.com>

I prefer the former option since it lets you set exactly what you want and leaves nothing to chance, but I think either of those should probably solve your problem. See the fetchmail man page for the myriad of options! :-)

HTH.
