fetchmail/procmail/jed -- cygwin binaries available?

[Duke Normandin]

I guess the subject line says it all ;,)
I guess that I can do w/o fetchmail -- but would like to use procmail or
a clone thereof. Also, I'd like to try out jed (using Joe right now), but
only saw a B-20 incarnation. Would this version of Jed work on my recent
cygwin install? Tia...

Fetchmail is easy, go to the web page (search for it if you have to),
download it, extract it and run ./configure; make; make install.

With the others, I don't know.

Would you like maildrop? That is alternative mail delivery agent.
I use this instead of procmail.

http://www.flounder.net/~mrsam/maildrop/

I compiled maildrop, and that's work fine in my box.
RPM package of that is distributed in my page.

Did it build OOTB or did you patch it somehow?

That sounds interesting. Together with ssmtp and fetchmail with -mda
option we would have a full mailing system.

I'll send a patch for maildrop to cygwin@cygwin.com.
But this patch is *dirty*.

Maildrop use 'setuid()' like functions for delivery to other user expect
one who launched maildrop. I cannot resolve this problem.
Corinna, can you solve this problem?

Probably but I have definitely not the time to do this right now.

In theory that should be no problem. As a first hack simply
uncomment these calls or ignore the return value. If maildrop
uses strict chmod settings, open them up. If maildrop then works
without complaining we could care to rearranging security again.
I have written a function for OpenSSH which checks if security
makes sense, dependent of the used file system and if ntea/ntsec
are on or off. We could recycle that functionality as desired.

However, I saw in your patch that you have used `#ifndef __CYGWIN__'
in the setprocgroup function. Why didn't you simply undef the
HAS_SETPGRP and HAS_SETPGID defines in config.h resp. unset them
explicitely in configure.in when building for a cygwin target?
This is way cleaner.

Or, should this become an official Cygwin specific API?  Then you
wouldn't have to recycle, it would simply be the way you do it.

Good point. Chris? Do you think that makes sense?

I hate adding cygwin specific APIs but maybe this make sense.

Hmm.  Isn't there a way to figure this out using a UNIX API?  Could
we extend pathconf, maybe?

OK. First, you should install gcc, make, binutils and other
development tools.  You must install gdbm too because maildrop use
this.

Then, get maildrop's source tarball from
http://www.flounder.net/~mrsam/maildrop/ (I compiled version 1.2.2.).

I attach my *dirty* patch for maildrop to this email. 
Extract the tarball, and apply this patch to sources.

How to build:

$ tar zxvf maildrop-1.2.2.tar.gz
$ cd maildrop-1.2.2

$ patch -p1 < maildrop-1.2.2-cygwin.patch
$ ./configure --with-devel --enable-userdb --enable-maildirquota \
           --enable-syslog=1 \
           --enable-trusted-users='root mail daemon postmaster qmaild mmdf' \
           --enable-restrict-trusted=0
$ make
$ make install-strip

Or, you can get rpm-3.0.6 binary and maildrop's rpm binary package
from my page.and extract this tarball at root directory.  This tarball
include a command named 'rpm2cpio'. You can install maildrop's rpm
package by following at root directory:

rpm2cpio maildrop-1.2.2-2.i686-cygwin.rpm | cpio -idv

Sorry my poor English.
Good luck!

Hi

Mutt's regular expression and folder-hook is very powerful - almost like procmail functionality. I can drop mails into various folders.

How? I'm sure I'm not alone in trying to get this to work.

Not very easily and I have not tried it. Take a look at Sven's example at
http://www.mutt.org .

I am attaching a section of his 'rc' file below:

# Saving "official" mails from the local "mailing lists"
# (at inf.fu-berlin.de and math.fu-belin.de) - evil stuff!
# We can put all these into a single save-hook
# even though it takes a very strange expression:
  save-hook  "~C
'(alle?|m?-?studi-replies|all-replies|studi?s?|studenten)@.*(inf|math)' |
~C ^alle?$"   +ALL
#
# One of these days I'll be taking pictures of the
# expression on people's faces when they see this.  ;-)

# Some more local mailing lists:
  save-hook  "~C  hackers@math"                     +HACKERS
  save-hook  "~C      key@math"                     +KEY
  save-hook  "~C security@.*inf"                    +IN.SECURITY
  save-hook  "~C security@lists.spline.de"          +IN.SECURITY
  save-hook  "~C schulz-schueler@math.fu-berlin.de" +TERMINE

# Mailing lists which can be identified by one of
# the addresses their are sent *to* (hence "~C"):
  save-hook  "~C linux-l(-announce)?@.*in-berlin.de" +IN.LINUX
  save-hook  "~C nano@doesnotexist.com"             +IN.NANO
  save-hook  "~C viaginfo@"                         +IN.VIAGINFO

For mail delivery, I've found Mercury to be excellent:

(Sorry for OT, as Mercury is not a cygwin app; but it works great
nontheless.)
