Try procmail or other filtering program.

The filter for this list using procmail is:

Attached is the above mentioned combined patch (against fetchmail
5.9.12).  Specifically, it is composed of Sunil Shetye's eliminate
the duplicate SockRead() code patch:

[fetchmail]6.0.0 release is imminent

I'm considering shipping 6.0.0 shortly.  This is intended to be 
an ultra-stable release.

Here is what I have integrated since 5.8.13:

* Cygwin port fixes for socket.c.
* Matthias Andree's patches to: 
  (a) clean up xmalloc types,
  (b) improve distclean,
  (c) use sendmail -i in configure.in and dump the fallback configuration,
  (d) turn fallback off by default.
* Scott Gifford's dotted-quad patch.

If you know of any outstanding bug fixes (not new features) that need
to go in before 6.0.0, speak now.

[fetchmail]Fetchmail doesn't fetch bogus mail (and also all others are not fetched)

Hello again,

This is a bug report.  Fetchmail cannot fetch some kind of special 
mails and also it doesn't fetch the rest from my POP3 server (Qmail).

Unfortunately I have no FTP access to the server so I can just fetch 
the mail via telnet.

Please see the details below.

1. Your operating system:

$ uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-4.0 IOKASTE 1.3.10(0.51/3/2) 2002-02-25 11:14 i686 unknown

2. Your compiler version, if you built from source; otherwise, the 
name and origin of the RPM or other binary package you installed:

$ cygcheck -c fetchmail
Cygwin Package Information
Package             Version             
fetchmail           5.9.11-3            

3. A copy of your POP or IMAP server's greeting line:

$ telnet mail.server.de 110
Trying xx.xx.xx.xx...
Connected to mail.server.de.
Escape character is '^]'.
+OK <21298.1023566335 <at> mail.server.de>

[fetchmail]The 5.9.13 release of fetchmail is available

The 5.9.13 release of fetchmail is now available at the usual locations,
including <URL:http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/fetchmail>.

The source archive is available at:
<URL:http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/fetchmail/fetchmail-5.9.13.tar.gz>

Here are the release notes:

fetchmail-5.9.13 (Sat Jun 22 17:53:00 EDT 2002), 21791 lines:

* Cygwin port fixes for socket.c.
* Matthias Andree's patches to: 
  (a) clean up xmalloc types,
  (b) improve distclean,
  (c) use sendmail -i in configure.in and dump the fallback configuration,
  (d) turn fallback off by default.
* Scott Gifford's dotted-quad patch.
* Updated Danish translation.
* RPM now built with SSL and IPv6 support, reflecting what's in RH 7.3.
* Sunil Shetye's patches to send CAPA during POP3 sessions and improve
  the PS_RETAINED behavior slightly.
* Yann Droneaud's fix to eliminate a socket leak on error.

There are 506 people on fetchmail-friends and 669 on fetchmail-announce.

This was going to be 6.0.0, but I'm going to leave some time for Mike
to gin up the IPv6 patch fix. Also I want a corrected version of
Jan Klaverstijn's verbosity-reduction patch.

By popular demand, diffs from the previous release have been omitted.

What platform are you using and what version?

If it's RedHat compatible then go to www.rpmfind.net for a GLIBC 2.2 RPM.

    Please don't CC me on anything sent to mailing lists or send
        me email directly unless it's a privacy issue, thanks.

[fetchmail]Fix for kerberos 4 IMAP support

Hello,

Kerberos 4 IMAP support appears to be broken in fetchmail-5.9.11. After
applying the fixes used by the debian package to fix krb4 support, to
the canonical source package, I noticed that fetchmail tried to speak KPOP to
the IMAP server(Cyrus IMAP4 v1.5.19) , before issuing a "CAPABILITY" command, causing the IMAP server
to return "* BAD Invalid tag", eventually causing the connection to
timeout. Attached are patches against 5.9.11 to base64.c and driver.c. The first patch, taken
from the debian fetchmail source package, fixes kerberos 4 support, and 
the patch to driver.c causes fetchmail not to send KPOP authentication
to an IMAP server. KRB4 IMAP now works fine, and testing it out with
Kerberos 4 KPOP, I have no problems either.

It ships with recent Linux distributions (since around a year).

Try to the source rpm, do "rpm --rebuild fetchmail-5.9.11-0.src.rpm" (or
whatever the exact name is) and install the resulting binary RPM (watch
for "Wrote: " lines near the end of the rpm output).

If that does not work, get the .tar.gz file, unpack and build manually.
