fetchmail (http://fetchmail.berlios.de/) fetches mails from pop3- or imap-accounts. For testing reasons I can configure fetchmail what it should do. - I can fetch all mails from the server and delete them. - I can keep them on the server (and fetch only new mails) - I can use ssl and tsl encryption - run as daemon or cron - authentication via ssl-certificates possible With procmail (http://www.procmail.org/) you can pipe mails through a ruleset. This ruleset can be used to - pipe mails through spamassassin - pipe mails through anti-virus-tools - deliver mails to various destinations (in copy, as forward, as bounce, ...) based on regular expressions or other filters - sort mails into a folder structure or different mailboxes on the filesystem or imap-storage - modify messages (headers, content, ...) I like them both. For testing reasons (testing my otrs-filter to sort mails into queues) I can advice fetchmail to get all mails from my pop3-account and keep them there. When I test my filters again, I can reuse my still existing mails on the pop3-account. Nice. Paul -- : Please answer below the quote, use a realname and : use plain-text (no HTML). : Thank you.
