Hi,
I have built a mail server, and it works the way I want ... almost.
The last part is ... you guessed it ... fetchmail.
Note that fetchmail 6.2.5 has security vulnerabilities. Update to
6.2.5.2 or later (http://fetchmail.berlios.de/).
OK, thanks for the warning.
Is there a way of doing it like this :
fetchmail connects
fetchmail checks SSL
foreach folder {
fetchmail logs in
fetchmail downloads messages
fetchmail logs out
}
fetchmail disconnects
AFAIK no, you have to do it one mailbox at a time.
Hrm. On a whim, I tried having fastmail filter all the messages into a
single folder and then just running fetchmail on the single folder.
It looked like it worked fine; in fact, it's the best possible situation.
When I send a message 'To' multiple users in my domain, fastmail only
puts a single copy into the designated folder. This means that fetchmail
only downloads a single message (whilst before it was downloading N
copies). It seems that postfix recognises that it has to deliver it to
two users and so it duplicates.
Does this sound correct? Any potential pitfalls? It does simplify things
enormously.
Max.
