NAME
retchmail.conf - RetchMail configuration file
DESCRIPTION
When retchmail starts, it first loads its configuration from $HOME/.retchmail/retchmail.conf, which contains basic information about all of the various accounts and servers that you want to download your mail from, and deliver your mail to.
The configuration file $HOME/.retchmail/retchmail.conf is in Windows "ini" file format, with sections named in square brackets and a number of variable = value pairs within each section.
Here is a sample configuration file:
[POP Servers]
[email protected] = password
[POP Targets]
[email protected] = localuser
The sample configuration file above contains all of the options necessary to run retchmail to automatically deliver mail from [email protected] to localuser. when retchmail is invoked.
If you want retchmail to use SSL to encrypt all of the traffic between it and your POP server, then it's as easy as adding :995 to the POP Servers account name as follows:
[POP Servers]
[email protected]:995 = password
[POP Targets]
[email protected]:995 = localuser
If you wish to have retchmail use a mail delivery agent (MDA) other then sendmail to deliver your mail you may also add a MDA Override option to your config file as follows:
[POP Servers]
[email protected] = password
[MDA Override]
[email protected] = qmail
