Check /var/imap/proc for files. If any are present, then a client is connected.
Write a
polling script to run out of cron that checks for this and runs fetchmail if
appropriate.
I'll let other's comment on the soundness of this.
Semi-pseudo code.
#/bin/sh
if [ $(find /var/imap/proc -type f | wc -l) -gt 0 ]; then
fetchmail
fi
For bonus points, you could parse the proc files and only run fetch mail for
the users
actually connected.
find /var/imap/proc -type f | \
xargs awk 'BEGIN{FS="\t"}{if (length($2)) print $2}' | \
sort -u | \
xargs

When the port revision changes, that means that the port was modified in such a way that the resulting package is different enough to warrant a rebuilding of the port; however, the port is still building the same version of the software. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/makefile-naming.html#MAKEFILE-NAMING-REVEPOCH -- Russell A.

Bulletin boards are usually not user mailboxes and as such are created at the root of the IMAP namespace. The post user is mostly symbolic (but perhaps used by the MTA for authorization?) and can be left undefined so that addressing would be just with the plus notation. Recreate your bulletin board folders as root folders: > cm aptest > cm aptest.events If you leave post user as bb, then you would address them as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] If you leave postuser undefined, then you would addres them as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] The sharedprefix should be left as users.
