Obviously the gentleman didn't mean to send a 1.7MB email to the whole SuSE news group. My question is, is there some option in fetchmail that would prevent the download of messages, say over 10K (arbitrary), and leave them on my ISP's server until I have the time to download them on my 56K dialup connection? Some sort of "download small, leave big" option?
There is one. And guess what -- it's even mentioned in the fine manual :-) `fetchmail -l 10240' will leave everything > 10K on the server.
Ciao, Stefan
Hi Stefan, ame person next (stupid?) question. How do I learn that fechmail "left" a message on the server? Will it be in the logs? ( = fetchmails output to the screen diverted to a file). I mean, I do not want to collect big messages on my ISP's server for good.
