meillo@0 14 <p><opt>protocol</opt> = <arg>string</arg></p>
meillo@0 15 <optdesc>
meillo@0 16 <p>The protocol with which you retrieve your mail. Currently only
meillo@0 17 'pop3' and 'apop' are supported. There is no default.</p>

meillo@0 21 <option>
meillo@0 22 <p><opt>server</opt> = <arg>string</arg></p>
meillo@0 23 <optdesc>
meillo@0 24 <p>The server you get your mail from.</p>

meillo@0 27
meillo@0 28 <option>
meillo@0 29 <p><opt>resolve_list</opt> = <arg>list</arg></p>
meillo@0 30 <optdesc>
meillo@0 31 <p>Specify the method how the domain of the server is resolved. Possible values are
meillo@0 32 dns_mx, dns_a, byname. For 'dns_mx', the domain is assumed to be an MX
meillo@0 33 pointer to a list of host names, these will be tried each in order
meillo@0 34 (lowest preference value first, equal preference values in random
meillo@0 35 order). For 'dns_a', the domain is assumed to be an A pointer. For
meillo@0 36 'byname', the library function <manref name="gethostbyname" section="3"/> will be used.</p>
meillo@0 37 <p>The default is "dns_a;byname". It does not make much sense here to use 'dns_mx'.</p>

meillo@0 54
meillo@0 55 <option>
meillo@0 56 <p><opt>address</opt> = <arg>address</arg></p>
meillo@0 57 <optdesc>
meillo@0 58 <p>The address where the retrieved mail should be sent to. It can be
meillo@0 59 any address, but you probably want to set this to a local address on
meillo@0 60 your LAN.</p>
meillo@0 61 </optdesc>
meillo@0 62 </option>
meillo@0 63
meillo@0 64 <option>
meillo@0 65 <p><opt>return_path</opt> = <arg>address</arg></p>
meillo@0 66 <optdesc>
meillo@0 67 <p>If set, masqmail sets the return path to this address. Bounces
meillo@0 68 generated during further delivery will be sent to this address. If
meillo@0 69 unset, masqmail looks for the Return-Path: header in the mail, if
meillo@0 70 this does not exist it uses the From: address and if this fails,
meillo@0 71 postmaster will be used.
meillo@0 72 </p><p>
meillo@0 73 It is in most cases not useful to set this to the same address as
meillo@0 74 the 'address' option as this may generate multiple bounces.
meillo@0 75 postmaster is recommended.</p>

meillo@0 78
meillo@0 79 <option>
meillo@0 80 <p><opt>do_keep</opt> = <arg>boolean</arg></p>
meillo@0 81 <optdesc>
meillo@0 82 <p>If you want to keep your mail on the server after you retrieved it,
meillo@0 83 set this to true. It is recommended that you also set <b>do_uidl</b>,
meillo@0 84 otherwise you will get the mail again each time you connect to the
meillo@0 85 server. Masqmail does not check any headers before it retrieves mail,
meillo@0 86 which may mark it as already fetched. Note that this behaviour is
meillo@0 87 different to that of fetchmail. The default is false.</p>
meillo@0 88 </optdesc>
meillo@0 89 </option>
meillo@0 90
meillo@0 91 <option>
meillo@0 92 <p><opt>do_uidl</opt> = <arg>boolean</arg></p>
meillo@0 93 <optdesc>
meillo@0 94 <p>If set, MasqMail keeps a list of unique IDs of mails already
meillo@0 95 fetched, so that they will not be retrieved again. Default is false.</p>
meillo@0 96 </optdesc>
meillo@0 97 </option>
meillo@0 98
meillo@0 99 <option>
meillo@0 100 <p><opt>do_uidl_dele</opt> = <arg>boolean</arg></p>
meillo@0 101 <optdesc>
meillo@0 102 <p>If set, and <opt>do_uidl</opt> is also set, MasqMail sends a delete (DELE)
meillo@0 103 command to the server for each message uid in the uid listing at the
meillo@0 104 beginning of the session. This prevents mail to be left on the server if
meillo@0 105 masqmail gets interrupted during a session before it can send the QUIT
meillo@0 106 command to the server. Default is false.

meillo@0 113 <optdesc>
meillo@0 114 <p>If set to a value > 0, only messages smaller than this in bytes will be
meillo@0 115 retrieved. The default is 0.</p>

meillo@0 122 <p>If set to a value > 0, only <opt>max_count</opt> messages will be retrieved.
meillo@0 123 The default is 0.</p>

meillo@0 128 <p><opt>wrapper</opt> = <arg>command</arg></p>
meillo@0 129 <optdesc>
meillo@0 130 <p>If set, instead of opening a connection to a remote server, <arg>command</arg> will
meillo@0 131 be called and all traffic will be piped to its
meillo@0 132 stdin and from its stdout. Purpose is to tunnel ip traffic, eg. for ssl.</p>
meillo@0 133 <p>Example for ssl tunneling:</p>
meillo@0 134 <p>wrapper="/usr/bin/openssl s_client -quiet -connect pop.gmx.net:995 2>/dev/null"</p>
