fdm is a program to fetch mail and deliver it in various ways depending on a
|
2010-05-11 22:25:17 +02:00
|
|
|
user-supplied ruleset. Mail may be fetched from stdin, IMAP or POP3 servers,
|
|
|
|
or from local maildirs, and filtered based on whether it matches a regexp,
|
|
|
|
its size or age, or the output of a shell command. It can be rewritten by
|
|
|
|
an external process, dropped, left on the server or delivered into maildirs,

mboxes, to a file or pipe, or any combination.

fdm is designed to be lightweight but powerful, with a compact but clear
|
|
|
|
configuration syntax. It is primarily designed for single-user uses but may

|
|
|
also be configured to deliver mail in a multi-user setup. In this case,
|
|
|
|
it uses privilege separation to minimise the amount of code running as
|
|
|
|
the root user.
