The corresponding Gitorious merge request was accepted and merged into 'next' branch in Git (to be pushed to Gitorious once it's back up).

Hi Ben,

thanks for keeping this feature up to date.

I've recently migrated the source code management to Git and it's hosted on http://gitorious.org/fetchmail/ (free of charge) - that site allows easy cloning and merging for such contributions, so it may be worth a spin.

I'd also be interested to merge, but we're a while back from that state where I'll have revived the 7.0 development branch sufficiently that it's worth doing.

Matthias

This new version fixes reconnecting to the same socket specified in the rcfile. Useful if there is more than one account specified which uses the same pwmd socket.

This re-adds pinentry timeout support and fixes the previous patch complaining about an existing fetchmail running.

Updated to work with libpwmd5. This revision removes pinentry timeouts so make sure the password is cached on the server when running in daemon mode otherwise if your away pinentry will block the fetchmail daemon waiting for input. It also checks the pwmd server at each poll interval.

Here's a new patch for fetchmail 6.3.8 and libpwmd4. Includes pinentry settings. I'm not sure how to handle timeouts and errors connecting to pwmd. As it is now it'll exit like fetchmail does when it encounters an rcfile parse error.

Password Manager Daemon. It servers clients data whch is stored in an encrypted XML file. A client connects, provides a password to open a file and issues protocol commands to manipulate the data. It's a work in progress.

The fetchmail patch uses PWMD to get server info (hostname, sslfingerprint, port, etc), username and password info.
