Free imap4 hotmail software for linux

Animail is a multiserver POP3/APOP/IMAP4 (with or without SSL) mail retrieval utility. As the tittle of this section suggests, Animail can be used with other external filters to combine his filtering skills with the ones already on Animail. Those filters (you can specify any number of them) will be called just after downloading a message and just before delivering it; depending of the return value of some output of that filter the message will be delivered, ignored, or copied to a log mailbox (so you can see if those filters are not deleting important mail). The commands discussed on the examples of this subsection are detailed on the command block reference.
Main features:
- You can activate several filter to message size, maximun number of messages to download, or delete messages on the server based on a set of regular expressions written in a config file if they match the message header (in this case it will only download the header, not the entire message).
- It can be combined with other mail filters (like SpamAssassin or Bogofilter) in a easy, elegant and documented way. This way Animail uses those programs like plugins and can extends without limits his filtering capabilities, aplying those other filters-plugins to the mails just after they are downloaded and just before they are delivered, giving those other filters the change to decide if a mail is or is not spam.
- It allows downloading mail from several mail servers and those can be written to a local mailbox with mbox format, a QMail style directory (unstable version), or better, be resent to a local SMTP like Sendmail (any SMTP is valid).
- It can forward the downloaded mail to another email adress (if we have the SMTP option activated), or to a coma separeted list of adresses.
- We can configure the download order of the messages based on his size (arrival order, first the bigger messages or first the smaller messages). This allows us, for example, to get first the smaller messages so we can start reading them while a multimegabyte message is being downloaded.
- It has a silent mode with redirects all output to the system log instead of to the console. This is useful if we want to make script that periodically checks for mail (2 examples of this scripts are included in the distribution).
- The program output is a lot more friendly that the one of Fetchmail and others MDAs. When it download a message shows the message origin, and a percentual indicator of the download of the message, over a total given in bytes, kilobytes, megabytes, terabytes depending of the message size (tired of huge bytesize digits? tired of dots?) [Current version supports colored output]
- It has a good speed. In a fast computer (x86 350+), working in text mode and with the -t Switch enabled it can be faster than Fetchmail. The faster is the computer, the bigger is the difference. This only applies to local networks, on internet they are equally slow (internet is the bottleneck).
- To quickly configure Animail after installation create a .animail directory on your home dir, copy the file /usr/share/doc/animail/animailrc and edit to your taste.

Dwarf Mail Server is a full-featured mail server developed on the Java platform, implementing SMTP, POP3 and IMAP4rev1 protocols.
Dwarf Mail Server provides support for rich application message processing via pluggable mail filters and agents, as well as full handling of virtual domains for the SMTP/POP3/IMAP4 protocols, and is free of charge for the binary redistribution.
Since the server is based on the Dwarf framework, it also shares its common design principles and features - simplicity, high modularity and extensibility, authentication and authorization, XML-based configuration, logging and remote management.
Main features:
- ESMTP, POP3 and IMAP4rev1 implementation
- application logic layer provided by mail filters and agents
- virtual mail hosts in SMTP/POP3/IMAP4 server
- application-independent authentication and authorization
- sample JSP-based webmail interface
Dwarf Mail Server is targeted for both end users who are just looking for simple, secure and robust mail server as well as developers who need an extensible and powerful framework for application message processing.
For users with minimal requirements it can offer portability, simple configuration as well as strong security.
- Portability: several OS platforms are supported via the Java technology, including MS Windows, UNIX/Linux/BSD, MacOS X and others.
- Configuration: just 3 lines have to be changed to fire up a sample mail server and a few of them to run a full featured SMTP/POP3/IMAP4 server.
- Security: it uses Java Platform Security Architecture in combination with Java Authentication and Authorization Service (JAAS), as well as SSL/TLS for the secure communication.
Advanced or enterprise users can additionally appreciate performance scalability, multiple domain handling, enhanced security features and modular design easing to incorporate it to the existing infrastructure.
- Scalability: gaining from multithreaded design and dynamically adjustable allocation of resources.
- Multiple domains: server is able to handle multiple virtual domains in a single instance for all SMTP, POP and IMAP protocols.
- Enhanced security: includes subject-based permissions and access control lists for IMAP, SMTP relaying control rules, host-based filtering, SSL/TLS communication, basic anti-spam filtering, etc.
- Robustness: client/server network communication is by design separated from the resource-expensive application logic layer. The server implementation is based on the unparsed byte streams whenever possible, including its own and highly efficient MIME parser.
Dwarf Mail Server also appears to be a suitable platform for application development and customization. Its modular structure and lightweight API allows enhancing existing functionality or completely exchanging the certain part as a whole:
- Message processing: mail filters and agents provide an unique infrastructure for rich message processing.
- Mail queue: physical mail queue representation is abstracted by the API specification and may replaced by a custom implementation.
- Storage subsystem: physical data representation (i.e. messages, folders, configuration options, ACLs) is abstracted by API and may be replaced by a custom implementation based on filesystem, SQL database, etc.
- MIME parser: the parsing engine may be reimplemented for the top efficiency according to the currently used mail storage.
Dwarf Mail Sever has been tested with the most popular mail clients like MS Outlook, Mozilla, Thunderbird, Opera, Apple Mail, Becky!, Pegasus, Eudora, Pine, The Bat! and others.
Other features:
- multi-threaded server
- dynamically adjusted number of active threads
- server API for mail, user data and ACL storages
- robust SMTP server architecture with flexible queue design
- simultaneous deliveries to remote SMTP hosts
- transparent Delivery System Notification (DSN) mechanism
- support for shared mail folders
- fast and universal stream-oriented MIME parser
- runtime server configuration
- built-in SSL/TLS support
- full documentation with user guides and tutorials
- samples with source code

FireHOL is a stateful iptables packet filtering firewall configurator. It is abstracted, extensible, easy and powerful. It can handle any kind of firewall, but most importantly, it gives you the ways to configure it, the same way you think of it.
Main features:
- FireHOL handles firewalls protecting one host on all its interfaces and any combination of stateful firewalls routing traffic from one interface to another. There are no limitations on the number of interfaces or on the number of routing routes (except the ones iptables has, if any).
- FireHOL, still lacks a few features: QoS for example is not supported directly. You are welcome to extend FireHOL and send me your patches to integrate within FireHOL. In any case however, you can embed normal iptables commands in a FireHOL configuration to do whatever iptables supports.
- Since FireHOL produces stateful commands, for every supported service it needs to know the flow of requests and replies. Today FireHOL supports the following services:
- Many single socket protocols, such as HTTP, NNTP, SMTP, POP3, IMAP4, RADIUS, SSH, LDAP, MySQL, Telnet, NTP, DNS, etc. There are a few dozens of such services defined in FireHOL. Check this list. Even if something is missing, you can define it.
- Many complex protocols, such as FTP, NFS, SAMBA, PPTP, etc. If you need some complex protocol that is not present, you will have to program it (in simple BASH scripting - there are many commented examples on how this is done). Again, you will just create one BASH function with the rules of the protocol, and FireHOL will turn it to a client, a server or a router.
Enhancements:
- Minor updates were made for the latest IANA reservations.
- A check-iana.sh cron job script was provided to notify the administrator when IANA reservations change.
