These are scripts to help you running fetchmail in special situations. 
Note: you're on your own using these -- I don't really understand them,
I'm just passing them along.
								--esr

maildaemon:

Larry Fahnoe wrote this for driving fetchmail from cron.  It may be useful if
you want to force a PPP link up and then poll for mail at specified times.
I have rearranged it slightly to make it easier to configure.

novell:

Some mail from Dan Newcombe describing how to write a procmail rule that
will domainify Novell server names.

login & logout:

These are intended to help if you typically have multiple logins active.
Here's the script composer's original README:

	Please find attached 2 files, ~/.bash_login & ~/.bash_logout
	What these do is try to keep track of WHO is the process/tty
	that ran fetchmail in daemon mode.  I tried to use the bash
	Variable PPID, but when using xterm the PPID is set to the
	xterm's pid not the bash shell's pid so....

	They have been lightly tested.

	Any comments...

ip-up:

A note from James Stevens about using fetchmail in an ip-up script without
disabling timeouts.

runfetchmail:

A shellscript front end for fetchmail that mails you various statistics on
the downloaded mail and the state of your folders.  A good example of what
you can do with your own front end.

fetchspool:

If you find that the speed of forwarding to port 25 is limited by the
SMTP listener's speed, it may make sense to locally spool all the mail
first and feed it to sendmail after you hang up the network link.
This shellscript aims to do exactly that.  It would be smarter to
figure out why sendmail is slow, however.

fetchsetup:

This is a shell script for creating a $HOME/.fetchmailrc file, it will ask
you some questions and based on your answers it will create a .fetchmailrc
file, fetchsetup is linux specific so it may not work on another operating
system.

mailqueue.pl:

This script will connect to your isp (if not already connected),
send any outgoing mail and retrieve any incoming mail.  If this
program made the connection, it will also break the connection
when it is done.  By Bill Adams, <bill@evil.inetarena.com>.  The
latest version is carried at 

redhat_rc:

A fetchmail boot-time init file compatible with RedHat 5.1.  It leaves
fetchmail in background to get messages when you connect to your ISP.
The invoked fetchmail expects to find its configuration in
/etc/fetchmailrc, and must include the proper "interface" directive.

start_dynamic_ppp:

An admittedly scratchy ip-up script that Ryan Murray wrote to cope with
dynamic PPP addressing.  Will need some customizing.

getfetchmail:

Here's a script that gets Eric's most recent fetchmail source rpm,
downloads it and (if the rpm's not broken) rebuilds it.

With fairly simple changes it can be used to download the latest i386 rpm
or tar.gz.
 
Those who are addicted to having the latest of everything could filter mail
from fetchmail announce through it and get new versions as they're
announced. However, if we all did that, Eric's ftp server might feel a
little stressed.

The script as written works on bash 2.  By John Summerfield
<summer@os2.ami.com.au>.

zsh-completion:

These commands set up command completion for fetchmail under zsh.
