It looks like I was being too specific and micro-managing things. |
| 8 |
Like Captain Picard, simply say "Make it so", and let it figure things |
| 9 |
out for itself. What finally worked, including handoff to procmail, was |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
poll ########### protocol pop3: |
| 13 |
username "############" password "########" is "########" here |
| 14 |
mda "/usr/bin/procmail -m ~/.mailfilter/.procmailrc": |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
According to the manpage, "fetchmail --version" gives "dry-run" |
| 19 |
diagnostics. In my test case, it says... |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
Taking options from command line and /home/########/.fetchmailrc |
| 22 |
Idfile is /home/########/.fetchids |
| 23 |
Fetchmail will forward misaddressed multidrop messages to ########. |
| 24 |
Options for retrieving from ########################: |
| 25 |
True name of server is ###########. |
| 26 |
Protocol is POP3. |
| 27 |
All available authentication methods will be tried. |
| 28 |
SSL server certificate checking enabled. |
| 29 |
Server nonresponse timeout is 300 seconds (default). |
| 30 |
Default mailbox selected. |
| 31 |
Only new messages will be retrieved (--all off). |
| 32 |
Fetched messages will not be kept on the server (--keep off). |
| 33 |
Old messages will not be flushed before message retrieval (--flush off). |
| 34 |
Oversized messages will not be flushed before message retrieval (--limitflush off). |
| 35 |
Rewrite of server-local addresses is enabled (--norewrite off). |
| 36 |
Carriage-return stripping is enabled (stripcr on). |
| 37 |
Carriage-return forcing is disabled (forcecr off). |
| 38 |
Interpretation of Content-Transfer-Encoding is enabled (pass8bits off). |
| 39 |
MIME decoding is disabled (mimedecode off). |
| 40 |
Idle after poll is disabled (idle off). |
| 41 |
Nonempty Status lines will be kept (dropstatus off) |
| 42 |
Delivered-To lines will be kept (dropdelivered off) |
| 43 |
Fetch message size limit is 100 (--fetchsizelimit 100). |
| 44 |
Do binary search of UIDs during 3 out of 4 polls (--fastuidl 4). |
| 45 |
Messages will be delivered with "/usr/bin/procmail -m ~/.mailfilter/.procmailrc". |
| 46 |
Single-drop mode: 1 local name recognized. |
| 47 |
No UIDs saved from this host. |
