Re: [fetchmail]Backslash in Username

2001-10-16 23:18:26
From: Almute Kraus <almute(_dot_)kraus(_at_)exclam(_dot_)de>

Our ISP-usernames are containing a backslash for example
"exclam.de\almute.kraus". But in the fetchmailrc configfile the backslash
is ignored. So the authorisation fails because the backslash is not send.
How can I code the backslash so that it will be sent to the host?

The '\' symbol is a standard unix escape character, try using 2 instead.

I'm pretty sure this has come up in the past so a search throught the list archive should give you further info.
