Multidrop mail and web-admin

I have purchased a Bubba/2 to replace an existing email server.

The existing server fetches mail from a multidrop mailbox provided by an ISP. The .fetchmailrc on the old server is like this:

poll mail.myisp.com with proto pop3 envelope X-Envelope-To
localdomains mydomain.com mydomain.org:
user myuser with pass mypass to * here

I guess I can't configure this using the Bubba web admin forms but have to edit the .fetchmailrc manually?

If I change .fetchmailrc on my Bubba/2 - will it confuse the Bubba web-admin forms (http://bubba/admin/mail) and is there a danger that using the web-admin will lose any manual edits I made to .fetchmailrc?

Hi IDW,

The fetchmail configuration we use today is the system wide /etc/fetcmailrc. I'm not sure we even read anyone found in any user home dir.

Modifications will most likely confuse our forms since we don't support multidrop atm. But as long as you don't try modifying the config via web admin i think you should be safe. (e.g. the rest of the UI should be safe)

Thanks Tor,

I have manually edited the system-wide /etc/fetchmailrc and all is working well.
