You can ask the server (if IMAP) for part no. 0 of "HEADER.0" (approx.) and you'll
get your headers (there's a similar command for POP3). The headers themselves do
not indicate KLEZ mails and their variants, for one reason because KLEZ headers
often have innaccurate information about the actual par

Sure, getting headers first would
be nice. With an IMAP client this pretty much works for many people.
You can run fetchmail like this. Basically, everytime you want to get
mail you run fetchmail from the command line. If you have a permanent
connection to the net, or nearly permanent (semi auto

you think downloading headers alone first, deleting unwanted ones off
the server itself and finally downloading the required ones is a more
efficient way (in terms of internet bandwidth)? is there any way

If you have a permanent net connection, then you can run it as a daemon.
Edit /etc/fetchmailrc and start /etc/init.d/fetchmail. If not, then
just setup your ~/.fetchmailrc and r
Darn, I forgot: When delivering to mbox, be sure to use locking (hence,
start a procmail recipe with ":0:" rather than ":0"). You don't want
multiple procmail processes to be active in one of your mailboxes at the

If you're the only user on that box, and don't plan to move to another

If you want the repetitive tasks done for you, and like to tinker a bit,
there's plenty that can be done . . .

Hi Sandip,
welcome to the beautiful world of Linux ;-). First thing to tell you is
that, in contrast to the Windows world, there are always several ways of
doing things in UNIX.
Mail handling is extremely flexible.
You can use a very simple setup or a more flexible one, depending on
your needs

First, the '_' character is illegal in host names. RFC 952 contains the
requirements for hostnames:
1. A "name" (Net, Host, Gateway, or Domain name) is a text string up
to 24 characters drawn from the alphabet (A-Z), digits (0-9), minus
sign (-), and period (.). Note that periods are onl
