POP3 client from AIX 5.2
Server is running AIX 5.2. The goal is to download mail from a POP3 server and store it in a textfile. Have to do this once each day to empty the account. The text file is then processed by various other utilities for various reasons.
So, I've installed fetchmail and it works fairly well for my purposes. The one thing I don't like about fetchmail is the fact that it dumps all downloaded mail to a local mail spool. I was hoping to just download the mail directly to a file in a directory of my choosing. You know, good ol' unix redirection to a text file. Anyone have any experience with this?
This one isn't urgent. Just hoping to see if anyone else has done something similar so I can continue to refine this process.
