I don't have a fetchmail example to submit, but I have a
question: Why do people use fetchmail rather than getmail or
another method (*)? It seems that getmail avoids this type of
problem because it does not route the mail through the local
SMTP. I'm not trying to start a fetchmail vs. getmail war, I just
want to understand this because I write a lot about email and
filtering.
Thanks,
Nancy
(*) When I want to "fetch" messages off an IMAP server, I use
either an IMAP client or mailutil, which is an command-line tool
that is part of the latest UW IMAP/c-client toolkit.
