* Treat permanent delivery errors as temporary (configurable).Matthias Andree2009-05-241-0/+22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fetchmail no longer drops permanently undelivered messages by default, to match historic documentation. It does this by adding a new "softbounce" option, see below. Fixes Debian Bug#471283, demotes Debian Bug#494418 to wishlist. There is a new "softbounce" global option that prevents the deletion of messages that have not been forwarded. It defaults to "true" for fetchmail 6.3.X in order to match historic documentation. This may change its default in the next major release. NOTE: untested. svn path=/branches/BRANCH_6-3/; revision=5315

* Major progress ticker bugfix/overhaul.Matthias Andree2009-05-041-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Progress tickers had been used inconsistently for a long time, and documentation was outdated, too. Factor out common code to ease maintenance, use the report_flush() function, and add and use a macro (want_progress()) to determine if progress ticker output is desired. This makes for a much more consistent look on screen and in logfiles and should be much easier to fix later on. TODO: test syslog output. svn path=/branches/BRANCH_6-3/; revision=5290

* Improve documentation: --logfile requires --daemon modeMatthias Andree2008-07-081-4/+8
| | | | | | | | | | Make this clearer, and document that --daemon is the wait interval after completing a cycle before starting the next, so that poll time count towards the interval. Also take a note to make logfile more useful (used more often). svn path=/branches/BRANCH_6-3/; revision=5216
