Hi,
after having switched to Graham's repository, I've looked at the first
few patches posted at Rob's site, http://funknet.net/fetchmail/patches/
that I'll list below and discuss in separate posts so we'll have one
thread per patch.
I'm not sure what boldface and asterisk mean in the patch list, but I've
looked at the first five patches to begin somewhere, and I'm giving
descriptions.
#1 2003-05-14-6.2.2-guerrini-pop3x.diff
http://lists.ccil.org/pipermail/fetchmail-friends/2003-May/007419.html
(should be dropped per originator's request in favor of the update right)
updated: 2004-05-24-6.2.2-guerrini-pop3x.diff
http://lists.ccil.org/pipermail/fetchmail-friends/2004-May/008754.html
Guiseppe Guerrini writes "my POP3 (non-IMAP) mailbox is often filled
by lot of spam with big bodies (about 150Kb). The anti-spam option
works well, but it seems that fetchmail has anyway to download the
whole message because of a leak of POP3 protocol (it misses a command
to read the message body alone). In my situation a double read of
message headers is worth because the bodies are large. So, I made
some changes to fetchmail 6.2.2 (path attached). My patch adds the
new protocol "POP3X", that is actually POP3 with a two-steps fetch: a
"fetch header" step that sends "TOP n 0", and a "fetch body" that
sends "RETR" or "TOP n 99999999" and then skips the headers."
#2 2003-05-22-6.2.2-hirsch-keeptopuidl.diff
http://funknet.net/fetchmail/patches/2003-05-22-6.2.2-hirsch-keeptopuidl.diff
Jakob Hirsch writes "I wanted to use the "keep" option on a server
where TOP should be used and saw, that "keep" forces TOP to be
disabled. On first thought this is sensible, but only if "uidl" is
not enabled, because then fetchmail can determine which messages are
new. My patch below fixes this. It also uses this check made for
peek_cabable to reduce code redundancy."
#3 2003-05-24-6.2.2-andree-keeptopuidl.diff
http://funknet.net/fetchmail/patches/2003-05-24-6.2.2-andree-keeptopuidl.diff
My own patch as a followup to #2 is more radical, throwing the whole
TOP stuff out.
#4 2003-07-02-6.2.2-hawkey-bouncetext.diff
http://lists.ccil.org/pipermail/fetchmail-friends/2003-July/007602.html
D. J. Hawkey Jr. writes "See the attachment for patches against
fetchmail-6.2.2 that provides an interface for including an
user-specified message in bounce messages."
#5 2003-07-21-6.2.2-drieu-smtpname.diff
http://lists.ccil.org/pipermail/fetchmail-friends/2003-July/007733.html
http://lists.ccil.org/pipermail/fetchmail-friends/2002-September/002585.html
http://bugs.debian.org/156592
Benjamin Drieu: "Here is a small patch to fix Debian bug #156592:
when an arbitrary port is specified with the smtphost keyword
(i.e. "smpthost host/port"), port is not stripped from smtp queries
made by smtp_open, so fetchmail uses invalid email addresses and smtp
host rejects mail."
