Publisher review:Fetchmail is a full-featured and robust remote mail retrieval and forwarding utility. Fetchmail is a full-featured and robust remote mail retrieval and forwarding utility. It retrieves mail from remote mail servers (POP3, IMAP, ODMR, ETRN) and forwards it to your local machine's mail delivery system for local reading.
Features:
- STARTTLS is supported in both POP and IMAP.
- ESMTP AUTH (RFC 2554) is supported.
- Has the capability of adding trace information to the Received header to faciliate mail filtering by mailserver and remote account.
- Fetchmail now has options to handle SSL certificate validation.
- Fetchmail can be told to fall back to delivering via local sendmail if it can't open port 25.
- Support for AUTH=CRAM-MD5 under POP3, a la RFC2195.
- Support for ODMR (On-Demand Mail Relay), RFC 2645.
- It's now easy to deliver mail to a local LMTP socket.
- The interface option now checks both local and remote interface IPs.
- The plugin facility has been enhanced; %h and %p options are now available to pass in the hostname and service port number.
- Added a dropdelivered option to discard Delivered-To headers. This addresses a problem with using fetchmail and postfix as a relay inside a domain; when postfix sees incoming messages with delivered-to headers looking exactly the same as the ones it adds himself, it bounces the message.
- Added --smtpname to set username and domain portion of SMTP "RCPT TO" command. .
- Added "from" server's IP address to inserted Received line .
- Fetchmail now runs on BeOS, thanks to David Reid .
- In IMAP, unseen-message counting and indexing is now done by SEARCH UNSEEN at the beginning of each poll or re-poll (rather than with the UNSEEN and RECENT responses and FLAGS queries on individual messages). This significantly cuts down on traffic to and from the server, and gives more reliable results.
- Fetchmail can optionally use the RFC 2177 IDLE extension on an IMAP server that supports it. On IMAP servers that don't, it can simulate it using periodic NOOP commands.
- Fetchmail now recognizes the RFC 2449 extended responses [IN-USE] and [LOGIN-DELAY].
- Fetchmail running in daemon mode now restarts itself quietly when the rc file is touched.
- Following recent court decisions and changes in U.S. federal regulatory policy, hooks for Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) are now part of the main fetchmail distribution. The distribution still contains no actual cryptographic code.
- NTLM support under IMAP, so fetchmail can query Microsoft Exchange servers.
- Expunge option can now be used to break POP3 retrieval into subsessions.
- Support for AUTH=CRAM-MD5 under IMAP, a la RFC2195.
