Fetchmail

Fetchmail is an open source, full-featured, well-documented and robust remote-mail retrieval and forwarding solution.

Fetchmail supports every remote-mail protocol now in use on the Internet: POP2, POP3, RPOP, APOP, KPOP, all flavors of IMAP, ETRN, and ODMR. It can even support IPv6 and IPSEC.

What is new in this release:

• REGRESSION FIXES:
• Fix compilation with OpenSSL implementations before 0.9.8m that lack SSL_CTX_clear_options. Patch by Earl Chew. Note that the use of older OpenSSL versions with fetchmail is unsupported and *not* recommended.
• BUG FIXES:
• Fix combination of --plugin and -f -. Patch by Alexander Zangerl, to fix Debian Bug#671294.
• Clean up logfile vs. syslog handling, and in case logfile overrides syslog, send a message to the latter stating where logging goes.
• CHANGES:
• The build process can now be made a bit more silent and concise through ./configure --enable-silent-rules, or by adding "V=0" to the make command.
• WORKAROUNDS:
• Make Maillennium POP3 workarounds less specific, to encompass Maillennium POP3/UNIBOX (Maillennium V05.00c++). Reported by Eddie via fetchmail-users mailing list, 2012-10-13.

What is new in version 6.3.20:

• Fixing a denial-of service in STARTTLS and makes --keep configurations log less verbosely.

What is new in version 6.3.15:

• The repository has been converted and moved from the Subversion (SVN) format
• kindly hosted by Graham Wilson over the past years to Git format hosted on
• Gitorious.org.My deepest thanks to Graham Wilson for this service that
• kept us going when BerliOS's Subversion service was faulty in its early days.
• This opportunity was used to convert BRANCH_6-2 and BRANCH_1-9-9 to
• GnuPG-signed tags, as a sign that these are now closed.
• The outdated SVN trunk is now called "oldtrunk" in Git just to save the work
• for future reference. All development in the past few years was on BRANCH_6-3.
• master was branched from BRANCH_6-3.BRANCH_6-3 is now obsolete (and in fact
• was also converted to a tag to record where the conversion from SVN to Git
• took place).
• "make check" now skips HTML validation if xmllint or XHTML DTD are missing.
