fetchmail

Hi, I've been trying to setup email forwarding through fetchmail from remote smtp server to Gmail account, although messages are constantly coming to my local address and accessible via "mail" command. SMTP connection works perfectly, but emails do not go anywhere.

System: debian, fetchmail Config: poll smtp.server protocol imap username “user” password “pass” smtpname “[email protected]” ssl

Thank you!
