Copying all messages received to a given mailbox

[Miguel Koren OBrien de Lacy]

I have 2 ideas for doing this. If this were my problem I would try the following:

1) put in 2 lines in the .fetchmailrc file for the remote user but remembering to
delete pop mail after the second fetch, which would go to the other local address
2) I wonder if /etc/alias works in this case? I suppose it does and seems like an easy
way out.

Good luck.

Miguel
