Note for the impatient: scroll to the bottom of the page to see the RPMs available for download...
Some of the RPMs here require some perl modules to be installed. The ones that don't come as standard with Fedora Core, Fedora Extras, or Red Hat 9 should be available as RPMs in the perl-modules directory.
A lot of people come here looking for a POP3 server for Fedora Core 2 and later versions, since the old
ipop3d (part of the imap package) is no longer part of the distribution.
The package dovecot is what you need, and is part of the FC2 distribution. This is mentioned in the
Fedora
Core 2 Release Notes actually. To enable POP3 access, make sure that /etc/dovecot.conf has
pop3 as one of the the protocols to be served in the protocols = line,
and that dovecot is configured to run at boot time (chkconfig dovecot on).
dovecot is a POP3/IMAP server, and is the default one for recent Fedora releases, replacing UW-IMAP. The packages here are for the 1.0 pre-release version rather than the stable 0.99.x releases shipped with Fedora. The dovecot website says that the "0.99.x series codebase is mostly over 2 years old. If it works, it usually works well. If it doesn't .. well, try something else then. 0.99.x series is on only-serious-bugfixes mode now, so reporting bugs against it most likely will get you just a 'try 1.0 alpha instead' reply.". Note that there are significant changes in the configuration file format between 0.99.x and 1.0 - see the dovecot wiki for more details.
fetchyahoo is a program that collects mail from Yahoo!'s webmail service and delivers it to a local mailbox.
getlive is a program that collects mail from the Hotmail Live webmail service and delivers it to a local mailbox. It largely replaces gotmail, which did the same thing for the original Hotmail application.
getmail is a multi-protocol mail retrieval system with support for simple and domain POP3 and IMAP4 mailboxes, domain SDPS mailboxes, POP3-over-SSL and IMAP-over-SSL, mail sorting, message filtering, and delivery to Maildirs, Mboxrd files, external MDAs, and other advanced features. Getmail version 4 requires python 2.3.3 or later, hence no Fedora Core 1 or Red Hat versions are available. Getmail version 3 should be used instead in these cases.
grepmail is a powerful utility for searching emails in mailbox files, which may be compressed.
rblcheck is a tool for looking up hostnames or IP addresses in DNS-based blocklists such as ordb.org, dsbl.org, and SpamHaus.org.
I like to build my own versions of sendmail, the Internet's most widely used MTA, so that I get all the features I want included. My RPMs are intended to be drop-in replacements for the official Red Hat/Fedora packages, and indeed are based on development Fedora versions of the sendmail package.
This is Mark Kramer's perl-based milter for running
SPF checks on messages passing through a sendmail server.
spf-milter-whitelisting-with-access.db.patch is a patch I wrote for this milter to allow
recipient whitelisting using the access database in sendmail.
sfcmilter (Sender Forgery Check) is Jef Poskanzer's milter for checking that the envelope sender address on mail arriving at a sendmail server matches the header sender address. It is intended to be used in conjunction with spfmilter.
smf-spf is Eugene Kurmanin's C-based
milter for running SPF checks
on messages passing through a sendmail server. It is based on
libspf2 (version 1.2.x), which can be found in the
libraries directory.
spfmilter is Jef Poskanzer's C-based
milter for running SPF checks
on messages passing through a sendmail server. It is based on
libspf2, which can be found in the
libraries directory. Whilst not as feature-rich as the perl-based
milter, it is smaller and faster. Note that the spfmilter packages here use Jef's version
numbering scheme rather than the scheme used on the
libspf2 download page; although the version numbers
are lower, the packages here are more up to date.
