Ah, that makes sense now. Okay, what about using fetchmail. The syntax is:
poll mail.domain.com and options no dns
user 'username' therre with password 'password' is 'username' here
options fetchall
smtphost domain.com
If you could set it up that way, wouldn't you then be able to have procmail
process it and add a new TO: field to the correct user? Something like:
:0fw: hdr.lock
* TO_emailgroupname
| formail -tb -I "To: $LOGNAME"
If you put this in the .procmailrc file for each user, the TO: header field
would contain the correct information before Exchange go hold of it... Since
I didn't follow your topology very well and don't have any more time (I
should have left 10 minutes ago)... Senior moments are also involved.
