check out fetchmail, it is a pop3/imap client that is very "scriptable" you can use it within a script to pull mail from your qpop server You said:
Hi,
We're trying to script a nice thing, but we do expermiment some troubles... Qpopper is running on a SuSE 7.2 box that hosts many other things such as postfix apache and so on. We're trying to connect to the pop from an external box....
we telnet the box on the port 110 then
user myuser -ERR Unknown command: "user".
user myuser +OK Password required for ex00de00. pass mypasswd +OK myuser has 1 visible message (0 hidden) in 712 octets. rset +OK Maildrop has 1 messages (712 octets)
the problem is sometime we need to tell user myuser or sometime we need to tell <space>user myuser in order to authenticate. the same problem is for every command. when we are to enter a space before USER, the every other command will need the <space> before...
Has anyone experienced some kind of trouble with qpopper and automatic mail retrieving scripts ?
TIA
Stephane
