<h2><a name="K1">K1. How can I use fetchmail with SOCKS?</a></h2>
-Daniel Sobral &lt<a href="mailto:dcs@gns.com.br">dcs@gns.com.br</a>
-gave us the following recipe:<P>

-<OL>
-<LI> Install socks5. You don't need to have a socks server, you just
- want the "runsocks" program.
-<LI> Set the environment variable SOCKS_SERVER to the server you'll be
- using. Alternatively, you may set SOCKS4_SERVER and/or
- SOCKS5_SERVER. E.g.:
-<pre>
- export SOCKS5_SERVER=socks.my.domain.com
-</pre>
-<LI> Set SOCKS5_USER and SOCKS5_PASSWD if needed.
-<LI> Run fetchmail through runsocks. Just like this:
-<pre>
- runsocks fetchmail [parameters to fetchmail]
-</pre>
-</OL>

-It wasn't that hard, was it? :-)<P>

Giuseppe Guerini added a --with-socks option that supports linking
with socks library. If you specify the value of this option as
``yes'', the configure script will try to find the Rconnect library
and set the makefile up to link it. You can also specify a directory
containing the Rconnect library.<p>
+Alan Schmitt has added a similar --with-socks5 option that may work
+better if you have a recent version of the SOCKS library.
