# fetchmail control file sample
#
# 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-------, 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.
#
# Legal keywords are
#   poll                      -- must be followed by a mailserver name

#
# The noise keywords `and', `with', `has', `wants', and `options' are ignored
# anywhere in an entry; they can be used to make it resemble English.  The
# punctuation charactes `,' `:' `;' are also ignored. 
#
# The run control file format is fully described (with more examples) on the
# fetchmail manual page.
# 
# This is what the developer's .fetchmailrc looks like:

set batchlimit = 0	# I forward to sendmail

defaults password not_blowing_my_cover;

# Use this for production
poll locke.ccil.org with protocol APOP:
	user esr there with password my_apop_secret is esr here;

# Use this to test IMAP
skip locke protocol IMAP:
	user esr here is esr there;

# Use this to test against POP2 using a local server
skip localhost protocol pop2:
	user esr here is esr there;
