Patch to /usr/lib/univention-directory-listener/system/fetchmailrc.py

Package: univention-fetchmail
Version: 13.0.7-3

With package univention-fetchmail-13.0.7-3 a solution to Bug #56482 is shipped which just silently removes fetchmail-multi-drop configurations from /etc/fetchmailrc for a user when the mailPrimaryAddress is not set.

This will lead to emails from the remote mailbox not being retrieved and delivered.

A fetchmail-multi-drop configuration does not depend on a users mailPrimaryAddress as the recipients of the emails retrieved from the remote mailbox are determined from their email header.

Therefore, the user's mailPrimaryAddress is not used in fetchmail-multi-drop configurations and consequently must not be a requirement for a fetchmail-multi-drop configuration to be entered in /etc/fetchmailrc.

Please find attached a patch to the Listener-Script /usr/lib/univention-directory-listener/system/fetchmailrc.py to correct this error.
