Fetchmail




Its chief significance is perhaps that its author, Eric S. Raymond , used it to discuss his theories of Open Source software development in a widely-read essay on software development methodologies, '' The Cathedral And The Bazaar ''.

Many people have criticised fetchmail's design its number of security holes [http://pyropus.ca/software/getmail/faq.html#faq-about-why , and that it was prematurely put into "maintenance mode" [http://esr.1accesshost.com/]. Some of the problems are being addressed by a new maintainer team that the project has been handed over to in 2004.
