[plug] fetchmail and postfix

[Scott, Simon]

Yep, ok, thats the situation my friend is in *@userfriendly.com

Looks like I can help him then. One last stupid question, if someone sends
email to blah at somewhere.com and fetchmail grabs it and there is no blah user
on the server, can you default it to another account (eg Junk or
something)???

Other than that, sounds like a cool solution.
