From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
getmail is a simple mail retrieval agent intended as a replacement for fetchmail, implemented in Python. It can retrieve mail from POP3, IMAP4 and Standard Dial-up POP3 Service servers, with or without SSL. It supports simple and domain (multidrop) mailboxes, mail filtering via any arbitrary program, and supports a wide variety of mail destination types, including mboxrd, maildir, and external arbitrary mail delivery agents. Unlike fetchmail, getmail's Python foundation makes it all but immune to buffer overflow security holes. It also has a simpler configuration syntax than fetchmail.
Getmail is free software and is licensed under the GNU General Public License version 2. It is written and maintained by Charles Cazabon.
