As far as I know, 'localdomains mydomain.com' allows to consider any
*.mydomain.com host as local. 'aka' allows to declare a list of
individual DNS aliases for a server: 'aka host1.mydomain.com
host2.mydomain.com' . More info: man fetchmail

Please, consider reading again your previous postings. None of your
previous .fetchmailrc files posted before hhh's
<3FF2BC74.29A3C0A1@here.home> contained neither 'localdomains
2edalton.nl' nor 'aka 2edalton.nl'

Your might try yourself if 'localdomains 2edalton.nl' does work also
for you.
