Hello, OT post here, but: |
2 |
|
3 |
I (the office, actually) have this lousy ISP that sells mailboxes |
4 |
limited to 50MB. Whatever, I can't change that just now. |
5 |
|
6 |
I have need to keep all mail in one place... for safekeeping, mostly. |
7 |
50MB is not enough and I get a quota warning. |
8 |
|
9 |
So, knowing this situation is BS, I thought, what's the quickest and |
10 |
dirtiest way (short of hacking up another perl script) that I can make |
11 |
this just go away, without losing that backup storage? |
12 |
|
13 |
Anyway, I puzzled a bit and decided 'fetchmail' sounds pretty good, |
14 |
pretty much what I want to do here. But, it needs sendmail...?? I don't |
15 |
want a MTA on this box. So, I see 'procmail' is an alternative target. |
16 |
Hmm. |
17 |
|
18 |
I see the process as, getting a quota warning and then running |
19 |
'fetchmail' as a user. It worked, but not how I want. |
20 |
|
21 |
I got the mail off the server, but now it's in my 'own' .maildir folder. |
22 |
As I will need to set up a dump folder for a bunch of different |
23 |
accounts, this won't do. |
24 |
|
25 |
So, what part did I miss about setting the MAILDIR? For some reason my |
26 |
config selected the 'DEFAULT'. How can I set up multiple procmail |
27 |
targets and choose which one I want based on the .fetchmailrc? |
28 |
|
29 |
(Yeah, I don't want to actually learn procmail rules or anything.) |
30 |
|
31 |
poll pop.lousyfreakinisp.com protocol POP3 |
32 |
user "job@××××.com" password "job" fetchall |
33 |
mda "/usr/bin/procmail -d %T" |
34 |
|
35 |
Or, is there some other more lightweight brainless set-and-forget way I |
36 |
can approach this? Quota-warning->dumpALLpop3email to local folders |
37 |
one each for six or seven email accounts? Without setting up new users? |
38 |
|
39 |
I don't really even care what the format of the folder is, just that |
40 |
it isn't the multi-gigabyte .pst files everyone else has. Would |
41 |
rcvstore[?] work? |
42 |
|
43 |
Cheers, |
44 |
