fdm is a program to fetch mail and deliver it in various ways depending on a
|
2011-02-20 08:09:55 +01:00
|
|
|
user-supplied ruleset. Mail may be fetched from stdin, IMAP or POP3 servers,
|
2010-05-11 22:25:17 +02:00
|
|
|
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,

|
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.
