-Dave Bodenstab <imdave@mcs.net>
-Erik Soosalu <esoosalu@geocities.com>
-Jonathan Marten <jonathan.marten@uk.Sun.COM>
-
-Other:
-
-Chris Hanson <cph@martigny.ai.mit.edu> thinks --smtphost can be useful,
-but says the change won't affect him.
-
-Matt Simmons <simmonmt@acm.org> didn't express a general opinion but wants
--B/fetchlimit kept.
-
-Steffen Opel <opel@rumpelkammer.uni-mannheim.de> makes a good argument
-that --limit should be settable from the command line as a way to throttle
-fetches according to day-night rates.
-
-Comments:
- felix@crowfix.com: "Using --fetchmailrc, someone could
-write a Perl wrapper which would dummy up a temporary control file
-using the soon-to-be-banned options, if someone really wanted such a
-program."
- ncm@cantrip.org doesn't want fetchmailrc to require a control file.
- gleber@gams.at: "I like the flexibility I get from [command-line
-options] and use it very often."
- awk@bnt.com: keep -u, -p, nuke the others.
- alx@beryl.kapatel.gr: keep -u, -p, -t, nuke the others.
- esoosalu@geocities.com: "I would have an objection to removing
-command line options: It makes it a lot harder to debug the inital setup."
- jonathan.marten@uk.Sun.COM: particularly (and not unreasonably)
-objects to losing -r.
-
-Alexandros Manoussakis <alx@beryl.kapatel.gr> offered the following summary:
-
-It seems like many of us want to be able to use
-fetchmail without the need of a .fetchmailrc file.
-Regarding your list of commands to remove from
-the command line, taking into account the feedback
-regarding the matter we have (* denotes wanted options):
-
- -I, --interface interface required specification
- -M, --monitor monitor interface for activity
-* -p, --protocol specify pop2, pop3, imap, apop, rpop, kpop, etrn
- -U, --uidl force the use of UIDLs (pop3 only)
- -P, --port TCP/IP service port to connect to
- -A, --auth authentication type (password or kerberos)
- -E, --envelope envelope address header
- -Q, --qvirtual prefix to remove from local user id
-* -u, --username specify users's login on server
- -n, --norewrite don't rewrite header addresses
-* -l, --limit don't fetch messages over given size
-* -K, --nokeep delete new messages after retrieval
-* -S, --smtphost set SMTP forwarding host
- -D, --smtpaddress set SMTP delivery domain to use
- -Z, --antispam, set antispam response value
- -b, --batchlimit set batch limit for SMTP connections
- -B, --fetchlimit set fetch limit for server connections
- -e, --expunge set max deletions between expunges
-* -r, --folder specify remote folder name
-* -t, --timeout server nonresponse timeout
-
-Let's see how it goes and you can remove at least the options
-no-one complains about!
