- These are scripts to help you running fetchmail in special situations.
- Note: you're on your own using these -- I don't really understand them,
- I'm just passing them along.
- --esr
- maildaemon:
- Larry Fahnoe wrote this for driving fetchmail from cron. It may be useful if
- you want to force a PPP link up and then poll for mail at specified times.
- I have rearranged it slightly to make it easier to configure.
- novell:
- Some mail from Dan Newcombe describing how to write a procmail rule that
- will domainify Novell server names.
- login & logout:
- These are intended to help if you typically have multiple logins active.
- Here's the script composer's original README:
- Please find attached 2 files, ~/.bash_login & ~/.bash_logout
- What these do is try to keep track of WHO is the process/tty
- that ran fetchmail in daemon mode. I tried to use the bash
- Variable PPID, but when using xterm the PPID is set to the
- xterm's pid not the bash shell's pid so....
- They have been lightly tested.
- Any comments...

- ip-up:
- A note from James Stevens about using fetchmail in an ip-up script without
- disabling timeouts.
- runfetchmail:
- A shellscript front end for fetchmail that mails you various statistics on
- the downloaded mail and the state of your folders. A good example of what
- you can do with your own front end.
- fetchspool:
- If you find that the speed of forwarding to port 25 is limited by the
- SMTP listener's speed, it may make sense to locally spool all the mail
- first and feed it to sendmail after you hang up the network link.
- This shellscript aims to do exactly that. It would be smarter to
- figure out why sendmail is slow, however.
- fetchsetup:
- This is a shell script for creating a $HOME/.fetchmailrc file, it will ask
- you some questions and based on your answers it will create a .fetchmailrc
- file, fetchsetup is linux specific so it may not work on another operating
- system.
- mailqueue.pl:
- This script will connect to your isp (if not already connected),
- send any outgoing mail and retrieve any incoming mail. If this
- program made the connection, it will also break the connection
- when it is done. By Bill Adams, <bill@evil.inetarena.com>. The
- latest version is carried at
- redhat_rc:
- A fetchmail boot-time init file compatible with RedHat 5.1. It leaves
- fetchmail in background to get messages when you connect to your ISP.
- The invoked fetchmail expects to find its configuration in
- /etc/fetchmailrc, and must include the proper "interface" directive.
- debian_rc:
- A fetchmail boot-time init file compatible with Debian. It leaves
- fetchmail in background to get messages when you connect to your ISP.
- The invoked fetchmail expects to find its configuration in
- /etc/fetchmailrc, and must include the proper "interface" directive.
- start_dynamic_ppp:
- An admittedly scratchy ip-up script that Ryan Murray wrote to cope with
- dynamic PPP addressing. Will need some customizing.

- getfetchmail:
- Here's a script that gets Eric's most recent fetchmail source rpm,
- downloads it and (if the rpm's not broken) rebuilds it.
- With fairly simple changes it can be used to download the latest i386 rpm
- or tar.gz.
-
- Those who are addicted to having the latest of everything could filter mail
- from fetchmail announce through it and get new versions as they're
- announced. However, if we all did that, Eric's ftp server might feel a
- little stressed.
- The script as written works on bash 2. By John Summerfield
- <summer@os2.ami.com.au>.
- zsh-completion:
- These commands set up command completion for fetchmail under zsh.
- Jay Kominek <jay.kominek@colorado.edu>.
- getmail/gotmail:
- These scripts are front ends for fetchmail in daemon mode that can gather
- log statistics and generate text or HTML reports. See README.getmail for
- details. Scripts by Thomas Nesges <ThomaNesges@TNT-Computer.de>.
- fetchmaildistrib:
- This script resolves the issue where the sysadmin polls for mail with fetchmail
- only at set intervals, but where a user wishes to see his email right
- away. The duplication in /etc/fetchmailrc and ~/.fetchmailrc files is
- automated with this script; whenever /etc/fetchmailrc is changed, this
- script is run to distribute the stuff into all user's ~/.fetchmailrc
- files.
- multidrop:
- Martijn Lievaart's sendmail hacks to make multidrop reliable.
