[fetchmail] How to delete mail exceeding a certain size?

2002-12-06 12:58:45
Hello list members,

can fetchmail be configured to delete mail exceeding a certain size limit 
from a mailbox? I know that there's the "limit" option, but the man page 
reads:

"Messages larger than this size will not be fetched and will be left
on the server. [...] If the fetch protocol permits [...] the message
will not be marked seen."

This should preserve huge mail, but I'd like to be able to use something 
like this:

        poll pop.1und1.com proto pop3
        user "foo" pass "secret" is "bar"
        limit 10000 deleteoversized

If I missed a FAQ or manual entry mentioning this, I kindly ask you to 
point me to it. Thank you!


Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Regards
