fdm - a new procmail & fetchmail & esmtp

codemac · 2006-12-14 22:18:20

Procmail and Fetchmail are officially not worth my time.

http://fdm.sourceforge.net/

pacman -Sy fdm

Once you get it installed, you'll find example configurations in /etc/fdm/examples . Look them over then start up your own at ~/.fdm.conf

Once you think you have a decent config set up, run fdm as so:

fdm -vvvvnf ~/.fdm.conf

This will let you test you config for syntax errors before you go messing up your mail. Once you have it passing for syntax, run

fdm -vvvva <myaccountname> poll

and see if it can check your mailservers ok.

Finally, add

fdm -vvvla <myaccount1> -a <myaccount2> fetch

to your crontab with

crontab -e

BE HAPPY.

Here is my config for an example:
