It also has an include "filename" function, but when I used it so I could put it in series with each servers fetchmail poll, it lost the ability to delete duplicates. I have 3 accounts, one at my ISP, Shentel, but they use a godaddy certificate that has never been in the root certificates package, or did, they recently transfered their stuff to gmail and I haven't been able to access the smtp since, one at gmail, which is less than optimum as I have tried several workarounds now to get a confirming echo from a mailing list post and cannot, so I have no clue if my post ever made it to the list other than pinging the list 2 or 3 times till someone gets pissed and says we got all 3 posts, and an account on my long term employers mail server, which uses qmail, filters spam very poorly, gives mailfilter a gut-ache, constipating everything until the "defective" message is removed by my logging into the webmail server, squirrelmail, and either delete it because its spam, or see it is something I want & shut down mailfilter, which lets fatchmail suck it anyway.
However, disabling it, and re-enabling it several times a day is a PIMA. Its easier to just disable it. It has never had a similar problem with whatever server gmail uses for pop3/ssl access. Which points at qmail, which is older than dirt. Currently running on a centos-5.3 or 5.4 server, it was far easier to setup when we setup our first server for our own use in about 1998. It, and the machine its running on have been updated at least 3x since then, but is it RCF-5322, we don't know. Mailfilter itself is not that new either. I have been actively looking for another work- alike, but apparently its almost a one of a kind. Humm, I wonder if I could send its returns to /dev/null, that would at least allow fetchmail to proceed.
