# fetchmail control file sample (remove this header comment from yours!)

#

# This file (or one of your own creation, rather) should be located 

# in your home directory with the name .fetchmailrc.  Permissions on this

# file may be no greater than -rw------- (0600), or fetchmail will refuse to

# use it.

#

# To see what effect your ~/.fetchmailrc file has, do 

#

#	fetchmail --version

#

# This will display the fetchmail version number and an explanation

# in English of what the currently set options and defaults mean.

#

# Comments begin with a '#' and extend through the end of the line.

# Blank lines between server entries are ignored.

# Keywords and identifiers are case sensitive.

# When there is a conflict between the command-line arguments and the

# arguments in this file, the command-line arguments take precedence.

#

# The run control file format is fully described (with more examples) on the

# fetchmail manual page.

#

# This is what the former developer's .fetchmailrc looks like:

set daemon 300	# Sleep 300 seconds after the poll, then poll again.

defaults

	# only poll when the sl0 interface is up (only available on some systems)

	interface "sl0/10.0.2.15"	# SLIRP standard address

	# log in with name "esr" and do multidrop fetch for the users

	# esr, fetchmail-friends, and magic-numbers

	user esr is esr fetchmail-friends magic-numbers here

	# fetch (and delete after retrieval) all messages

	fetchall

# Use this for production

poll imap.example.org protocol IMAP:

	# do not use MX lookups to check of server aliases, but pass

	# them explicitly:

	no dns, aka snark.thyrsus.com thyrsus.com locke.example.org example.org 

	password my_remote_password;

# Use this to test POP3

skip pop3.example.org with protocol APOP:

	# do not use MX lookups to check of server aliases, but pass

	# them explicitly:

	no dns, aka snark.thyrsus.com thyrsus.com locke.example.org example.org 

	password my_apop_secret;

# Use this to test against a different server - it is skipped unless

# you give its name on fetchmail's command line.

skip pop3.netaxs.com:

	password my_netaxs.password;
