say that fetchmail obsoletes popclient.
I want to pop messages from a server, and dump the output directly to
file, or stdout, instead of forwarding to the local mta or mda.
I can't find any way to make fetchmail do this for me, and I can't find
a download for popclient anymore.
Should fetchmail do this for me?
You should be able to do this if you use procmail as your delivery
agent. Have fetchmail directly run with the procmail delivery agent
(instead of using the local SMTP port), and have the procmail config
file send the message to a particular file (though, you wont be able to
send it to stdout, I don't think).
I don't have the details of this set up, I just know it can be done.
