What is opt_fetchmail?
opt_fetchmail is an opt package for the Fli4L
project.
It installs Fetchmail in daemon mode to periodically
fetch e-mails from one or more servers and forward them to a
local or remote mail server. Such a mail server can for example be
installed using the
opt_extremail
package.
This package requires a hard disk in the router. The installation
process and configuration is fairly complex. This package
is not meant for beginners.
Note:
I am tired that some people, to whom I gave my software for free,
are bitching
about that it contains bugs, that I take too much time for providing
updates or bugfixes or that I don't answer support requests or
answer them arrogantly.
Therefore I will, effective immediately, stop any support and
further development. The packages will still be available for download
as they currently exist, but I will no longer answer any emails,
accept bug reports or even fix any bugs. There will be no
adaptations to new versions of FlI4L unless I need them for myself,
and in that latter case there will no updated documentation, if I make
the updates available at all.
