fetchmail
Fetchmail is an open source software utility for POSIX-compliant operating systems which is used to retrieve e-mail from a remote POP3, IMAP, ETRN or ODMR mail server to the user's local system. It was developed from the popclient program, written by Carl Harris.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title='Eric S. Raymond's former Design Notes On Fetchmail' )〕
Its chief significance is perhaps that its author, Eric S. Raymond, used it as a model to discuss his theories of open source software development in a widely read and influential essay on software development methodologies, ''The Cathedral and the Bazaar''.
== Design ==
By design Fetchmail's only means of delivering messages is by submitting them to the local MTA/Message transfer agent; delivering directly to mail folders such as maildir is not supported.
Dan Bernstein, getmail creator Charles Cazabon and FreeBSD developer Terry Lambert, have criticized Fetchmail's design,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title='UUCP must stay; fetchmail sucks (was list 'o things)' )〕 its number of security holes,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://pyropus.ca/software/getmail/faq.html#faq-about-why )〕 and that it was prematurely put into "maintenance mode". In 2004, a new team of maintainers took over Fetchmail development,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.fetchmail.info/ )〕 and laid out development plans that broke with design decisions that Eric Raymond had made in earlier versions.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://www.fetchmail.info/design-notes.html )〕
