FDM(1) General Commands Manual FDM(1) NAME fdm -- fetch and deliver mail SYNOPSIS fdm [-hklmnqv] [-a account] [-D name=value] [-f conffile] [-u user] [-x account] [fetch | poll | cache] DESCRIPTION The fdm program fetches mail from a POP3 or IMAP server or from stdin and delivers it based on a ruleset in the configuration file. The options are as follows: -a name Process only the specified account. This option may appear multi- ple times. The account name may include shell glob characters to match multiple accounts. -D name=value This option defines a macro for use when parsing the configuration file. The macro name must be prefixed with $ or % to specify a string or numeric macro. This option may appear multiple times. -f conffile Specify the configuration file location. Default is ~/.fdm.conf, or /usr/local/etc/fdm.conf if that doesn't exist. -h Look at the HOME environment variable to ascertain the user's home directory. -k Keep all mail after delivery, regardless of whether it matches a drop action. Note that mails kept in this way will be refetched by fdm if it is run again on the same account. -l Log using syslog(3) rather than to stderr. -m Ignore the lock file and run regardless of other instances of fdm. -n Do not process any accounts, just verify the configuration file syntax and exit. -q Quiet mode. Only print errors. -u user Specify the default user for delivery. This overrides the default-user option in the configuration file. -v Request verbose logging. This option may be specified multiple times. -vv will print information on configuration (useful with -n). -vvvv duplicates all traffic to and from remote servers to stdout. This feature is disabled when using the -l flag. -x name Exclude the named account. Multiple -x options may be specified. As with -a, shell glob characters may be used. fetch | poll | cache The fetch command instructs fdm to fetch and deliver messages. The poll command polls the accounts in the configuration file and re- ports a message count for each. cache allows fdm cache files to be manipulated: see the next section. CACHE COMMANDS The following cache manipulation commands are supported: cache add path string cache remove path string Add or remove string as a key in the cache at path. cache list [path] List the number of keys in the specified cache, or if path is omit- ted, in all caches declared in the configuration file. cache dump path Dump the contents of the cache path to stdout. Each key is printed followed by a space and the timestamp as Unix time. cache clear path Delete all keys from the cache at path.
