fetching e-mails to local server

[Alex Neuman van der Hans]

Fetchmail can be set to do what you need. And the MX record can be changed
to a dynamic DNS so that it always gets updated.

Subject: OT: fetching e-mails to local server

Hello,
this is a bit off-topic, but i don't know where to ask this question...
The story: small firm have an e-mail server provided by their ISP. They have
few aliases eg. aaa at firm.pl bbb at firm.pl etc. that points to one real account
on that server. They also want to have their local e-mail server  to send
e-mails (and that works ok) but also want to have their e-mails fetched from
ISP-server to their local server. I'm not sure how i can do this. I tried
fetchmail, but it downloads all e-mails to one account. But they want to
download all e-mails from that one real account and place it into real
accounts on local server.

aaa at firm.pl and bbb at firm.pl goes to realaccount at firm.pl I have to get all
e-mails from realaccount and put e-mails that were sent to eg. aaa at firm.pl
to box aaa on local server.

Someone have an idea how to do that?
I appreciate any help.

ps. i was thinking about changing MX record to point to that 'local'
server but its IP is dynamic:(
