Hi
  I have the same thing, sort of, only mine goes one stage further, I also
have 3 other domains dumping mail into that one box, fetchmail gets it
and pumps it into exim for me, using mail aliases exim sorts it and
forwards it or delivers it (my dads mail for example comes it on one of
the domains, and then gets forwarded to his own ISPs mail account, it
takes a little longer, but means he can use that address and not need to
worry if he does change ISP, and at the same time, he doesn't need to
know anything beyond what his ISP told him to do to set up email
access). If you only want a single domain responce then it's easier and
fetchmail can do the work for you. I never intended to end up doing all
of this with fetchmail, but on the other hand, it means when I break my
mail config, I don't loose any as it's still sat on the mail server
fetchmail retreives it from.
