fetchmail-4.3.2: description + notes

Fetchmail is a one-stop solution to the remote mail retrieval problem for Unix machines, quite useful to anyone with an intermittent PPP or SLIP connection to a remote mailserver.

Fetchmail can collect mail using any variant of POP or IMAP and forwards via port 25 to the local SMTP listener, enabling all the normal forwarding, filtering, and aliasing mechanisms that would apply to local mail or mail arriving via a full-time TCP/IP connection.

Fetchmail was originally written and is being maintained by Eric S. Raymond of The Hacker's Dictionary and freeware evangelism fame.
