Hi,
I know that's how Demon do it, but surely it's not the only way of doing it.
As for putting the correct headers in, I've had no end of trouble with fetchmail ignoring those headers and picking something it found in the latest "Received:" header (which obviously names the drop-box).
Thanks,

Demon (an ISP) have extensions to POP3 they call "SDPS" - there's basically an extra command that can be called for an email and it gives the envelope rcpt and from addresses. I was wondering if there was any chance of future versions of Dovecot allowing something similar?
As demon says, SDPS works by accessing "the same mail spools as are used
by SMTP". Dovecot does not do this. And I don't see a need for that. Configure your MTA to put the envelope data into the mail header (e.g. Return-path and Envelope-to). I used this several times for multidrop-mailboxes (which also seems to be the main use of SDPS).
