getmail replacement
Greetings,
My I.T. cohort wants to switch our email system around (mostly to start
filtering spam). He's nervous about doing any kind of linux implementation
because he's mostly a Microsoft junky and feels "safe" with those sorts of
products. He wants to go to a maildrop or a domain mail set up where
everything goes to one mailbox and gets sorted from there. I said, "OK,
I'll look into it".
Well, I tried fetchmail, and I don't like how it loops things though the
MTA. There were problems there I could resolve, but I need to keep this
simple to get him pointed in the right direction. I tried getmail and I
like it's functionality, but since it's written in python it's dead dog
slow. I couldn't find anything much else that I liked.
So, I decided to write something (in C of course)! The idea here is to
just to a very simple fetch and use procmail to sort. Well, I've got the
basic unit working, but it occurred to me that I should ask and see if there
isn't anything out there that I might have missed. I would prefer something
that is already debified, but I would say no to something that fits my needs
that wasn't.
Thanks,
Brooks
