fetchspool   [plain text]

#!/bin/sh -
#
# Quick hack for fetchmail to locally spool messages.
#
# To spool:
#     fetchmail --mda "fetchspool -t %T %F"
# To de-spool
#     fetchspool -f

# 4th/10/1998 and tested
#
# William Boughton comments:
# Still has some potential problems, with using inline from address.
# The use of _ is bad because fetchmails uses this if it notices
# shell escapes.
# 10th/11/1998
# Changed to using 3 _@@s to delimit the message, i hope this is ok.
# Whilst i have tested and used this script, with my demon account and
# SDPS, it may still have serious problems, that i've not noticed etc.
