fetchmail-6.2.5

EXISTS response (thanks to Jonathan T. Agnew ).
* contrib/runfetchmail copyright now meets Debian Free Software Guidelines.
* RPA code is changed to track a change I’m told CompuServe made on the weekend
of November 15.
* Set %p 3000 in the lexer source to fix the Solaris 2.4 build.
* Changed the summary status message emitted by a foreground run. The old
user@host produced odd results under some virtual-domain setups, so it’s
"user at host" now.

fetchmail-4.3.1 (Mon Oct 13 17:12:40 EDT 1997), 12388 lines:
* Minor portation fixes for early AIX versions and NextSTEP.
* Fixed a bad interaction between --limit and the repoll feature.
* = is now optional in global options.
* Code for parsing Received headers now strips out RFC822 routes.
* Fixed processing of -S/-r arguments so giving a comma-separated list works.
* Don’t query for the fetchmail host machine by default in ETRN mode.
* Added skip prefix clause on ‘envelope’ option
* Don’t use TCP/IP for DNS queries, it interacts badly with diald.
* Allow usernames up to 40 chars long a la RFC1939.
* Fixed IMAP-K4 authorization sequence.
* Added --invisible option. Note: you can now either make fetchmail generate
a Received header (the default) *or* spoof your listener into thinking
fetchmail connected from the mailserver machine, *but not both*.
