Info

equire that you *remove* the %s at the end of your MDA string. Local delivery addresses will be appended to the end of the command in the obvious way. * The first message from a query now includes the number of old messages when this can be determined (that is not under POP2). * POP3 UID support really works now. I make rude noises at the POP3 mavens who forced us to this with RFC1725, but thank Al Longyear for fixing and verifying my slightly buggy implementation. * Kerberos V4 support ditto. Thanks to Chris Hanson for this feature. * When there’s a daemon fetchmail in background, running fetchmail in foreground without --quit now tries to wake the daemon and force it to poll immediately. * Add option to set server nonresponse timeout. * Password is no longer displayed in verbose mode. * You may use C-like escapes to embed non-printables in passwords and other strings. Fetchmail -V will display them in a printable form. * Program now tries to set itself to the ID of the local user before running an MDA, and reset to root afterwards. This will work on any system with seteuid(2), including Linux and the BSDs. bugs -- * Default user name to deliver to is now the calling user, unless program is running as root in which case it is the remote user name (default can be overridden with an ‘is’ or ‘to’ declaration). In versions up to 1.7 it was the calling user; in 1.8 the remote user ID. This created some confusion. * Accept RFC822 headers with a tab after the colon. * You now see a "skipping" message for each message not retrieved. * --keep no longer overrides --flush. * Rewrite "To: jrh (J. Random Hacker)" correctly. * Find "nnn octets" anywhere on a POP3 server’s RETR response line. * Fixed various bugs in --check. It now reports PS_SUCCESS only if there is new mail waiting. * Under Linux, if fetchmail is run in daemon mode with the network inaccessible, each poll leaves a socket allocated but in CLOSE state (this is visible in netstat(1)’s output). These sockets aren’t garbage-collected until fetchmail exits. When whatever kernel table is involved fills up, fetchmail can no longer run even if the network is up. To avoid this, fetchmail now commits seppuku after some number of unsuccessful socket opens. * Don’t try using FLAGS.SILENT, some allegedly IMAP2bis servers seem to choke on it.
There are 100 people on the fetchmail-friends list. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------fetchmail-1.8.0 (Fri Oct 11 15:08:10 EDT 1996), 4586 lines: features -- * Use kill(0, pid) to make lock handling a bit smarter (thanks to Johan Vromans for the suggestion). * Arrange for timeout of client after 5 minutes if connection to server is dropped (thanks to Gaspar Sinai ). * All pretensions to RPOP support have been dropped. Yes, this is a feature, RPOP is very vulnerable to spoofing! Use APOP instead. * Normal start-of-read message now displays the byte (excuse me, "octet") size of the message. Yes, 3schwend, you can stop noodging me now :-). * Normal progress notifications now take only 1 line per message, not 2. * Linux packagers: building fetchmail now generates an RPM specfile for it. * Kerberos V4 support via KPOP protocol (thanks to Chris Hanson). * New --check option for asking server whether there is mail without actually retrieving or deleting it. * UID support is back by popular demand. Bletch. * Permit spaces in IMAP passwords (ship them as quoted strings). bugs -- * Fix buggy getopt specification of P and p options. * Fix uninitialized-variable bug that was hanging second IMAP queries. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------fetchmail-1.7.0 (Tue Oct 8 11:32:44 EDT 1996): features -- * Noise words for rcfile syntax make English-like syntax possible. * Make configure more GNUish; it understands --prefix and other standard autoconf options now (see INSTALL for details) * Better documentation of the new .fetchmailrc extensions and the slightly stricter rules for ordering options. * Expanded installation instructions including how to test for correct operation without losing mail to misconfigured MDAs, alias loops, etc. bugs -- * You may have to rearrange the order of options in your .fetchmailrc. The grammar for the new multiple-user syntax requires that server options (protocol and port) come before any user options.
