#fetchmail

This is just after a reboot.
CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 (4) @ 2.545GHz
Memory: 0.70GiB / 3.70GiB (18%)
Disk (/): 23G / 40G (61%)

It is running #Nextcloud, and so effectively does the cloud storage, calendar & contacts. I've been running this since before Nextcloud (I used to use OwnCloud).

This and SSH is all that is accessible outside of home. Both have MFA and China is currently blocked (I mean to expand this list).

However it also handles DHCP & DNS for the home LAN using #dnsmasq and I use it as an email archive (#dovecot). There is a functional #fetchmail install, but this is currently switched off.

It also has my #Subversion archive. That stays until I get around to having a proper look at #git.

With #USA going downhill I do have plans to get it do do more - but I'm playing with using #docker containers so if anything gets hacked, that will minimise the damage. I currently have too much running on the raw iron.

I'm using #borg for backups onto an external HDD that then occasionally is copied elsewhere (physical media off-site).

@daveburb @nobodyinperson I do the same thing. I use #dovecot to serve the mail folders. I use #fetchmail to pull all my external mail accounts to my #dovecot server they are all aggrigated into my one mailbox.

With this setup, if my mailserver goes down, people can still send me mail without errror. I'll just get it a bit later when the server comes back up. Setup a local SMTP forwarder to forward your outgoinv mail to a real SMTP.

I've been doing this since 2000.

@nobodyinperson
I've been doing that for over 20 years with #dovecot. For a while I even used #fetchmail to pull down emails to it.

"Have you tried turning it off and on again?"
If this question rings a bell, you're probably thinking of this classic sketch:

Well, thanks to a particularly fun fetchmail bug in Mailu, I decided to automate the answer! πŸš€

Because sometimes, the best fix is just... off, then on again. 🐳✨

@ryan #fetchmail can do that. And if you add this line to your fetchmailrc stanza, it can do it over Tor: β€œplugin "socat STDIO SOCKS4A:127.0.0.1:%h:%p,socksport=9050"”

As far as I can tell, #Fetchmail v6.4.0 is just a downgrade. People might want to pin an older version.

#Fetchmail has just removed opportunistic SSL/TLS, which affects the #Debian #Bullseye release. And they didn't remove the statement that opportunistic connections are possible from the man page. bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sou

@plathoar It turns out using #FDM to delete old email from the server is a mess: github.com/nicm/fdm/issues/73 & it's impossible with #fetchmail. So #Getmail it is.

I need to delete #email older than ~45 days or so from the server, while keeping a local copy of all msgs (old & new). To my surprise, #Fetchmail can't handle this, while #Getmail has a "delete_after" option. Must I use Getmail?

Gibt es eine Art #fetchmail fΓΌr #Mastodon, mit dem man ΓΆffentliche Toots aus anderen Instanzen in die eigene Instanz einspeisen kann um die Timeline etwas zu bevΓΆlkern?

2019-02-05

Note to self: the reason you switched from #fetchmail to #getmail is because the latter doesn't require a local smtp listener.
