fetchmail 6.3.9-rc2 (Development branch)
Fetchmail is a free, full-featured, robust, well-documented remote-mail retrieval and forwarding utility intended to be used over on-demand TCP/IP links (such as SLIP or PPP connections). It supports every remote-mail protocol now in use on the Internet: POP2, POP3, RPOP, APOP, KPOP, all flavors of IMAP, and ESMTP ETRN, ODMR, SMTP, LMTP, and local delivery agents. License: GNU General Public License (GPL) Changes:
This release fixes denial of service vulnerabilities CVE-2007-4565 and CVE-2008-2711. It also fixes a data loss bug with IMAP in --keep --flush configurations. Fetchmail no longer complains about invalid sslproto when POP3 CAPA probing fails. .fetchids and .fetchmailrc can now be symlinks. fetchmailconf now quotes folder names when writing the configuration. An --sslcommonname option was added to help working with misnamed certificates. Several build systems improvements were made.Image

ppp

PPP(4)							   BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual 						    PPP(4)

NAME

     ppp -- point to point protocol network interface

SYNOPSIS

     options PPP_BSDCOMP
     options PPP_DEFLATE
     options PPP_FILTER

     pseudo-device ppp

DESCRIPTION

     The ppp interface allows serial lines to be used as network interfaces using the Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP).  The ppp interface can use
     various types of compression and has many features over the SLIP protocol used by the sl(4) interface.

     Supported options are:
     options PPP_BSDCOMP   Enable support for BSD-compress (`bsdcomp') compression in ppp.
     options PPP_DEFLATE   Enable support for deflate compression in ppp.
     options PPP_FILTER    This option turns on pcap(3) based filtering for ppp connections.  This option is used by pppd(8) which needs to be
			   compiled with PPP_FILTER defined (the current default).

DIAGNOSTICS

     ppp%d: af%d not supported .  The interface was handed a message with addresses formatted in an unsuitable address family; the packet was
     dropped.

SEE ALSO

     inet(4), intro(4), sl(4), pppd(8), pppstats(8)

     The Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP), RFC 1661, July 1994.

HISTORY

     The ppp device appeared in NetBSD 1.0.

BUGS

     Currently, only the ip(4) and ip6(4) protocols are supported.
