Free mailer software for linux

MailGoose is an off-line mailer package for people who use nail, PINE, elm, Emacs mail mode, or other simple email software. It is particularly useful for laptop users.
You can browse the URLs of your mail spool, mbox, or copy of an email message, create an offline draft reply of an email message, edit your drafts in your favorite editor, create a new
message, or send all pending drafts.
Think of MailGoose as the useful bells and whistles of the big email clients made available to the discriminating console-mode hacker.

readlists in short rl, is a frontend for mailers like mutt to handle multiple mailboxes more conveniently.

A few years ago (in 1998) I started to use ELM (and later mutt) along with several mailfolders. I wanted to have a little program that acted as a front-end to mutt to make reading of multiple mailboxes easier.

The result was readlists, or rl as I shortly afterwards abbreviated it. Last year, when we upgraded out mail server to FreeBSD 5.4, we decided not to install ELM anymore, which left a void as this package also provided the command nfrm. Since rl already contained all the code needed for such a command, this was added, as well.

Svnmailer is a tool to post subversion repository commit information by mail, news or XML (to a CIA tracker).
The svnmailer package is derived from the script mailer.py distributed with subversion. Svnmailer arose from the idea to add some features to the original mailer script.
But Ive found the script not as extensible as it could be, so the svnmailer package was redeveloped from scratch with clearer design and extensibility in mind.
Now there are additional features like property diffs, MIME encoding, configurable handling of huge mails and news postings, subject templates, consistent unicode handling and even a better extensible command line.
Enhancements:
- This release enables the possibility to send mails as BCC and allows cia_rpc_server to be configured per notification group.

tideup_mail is especially useful for russian/ukrainian/belarusian users but however can help those who reads mail from people that uses such brain-damaged web-mailers as yahoo mail.

Fatigue with xterm when reading mail from mutt? Tired to press "Do Full reset" every time when terminal becames full of garbage? This program is for you! It removes unsafe characters for email & makes xterm happy!

Note that all documentation comes on russian language. Check for your local russian hacker.

XCmail is a MIME and multi POP3 server capable mailtool for X11 using the Xclasses layout library. XCmail was designed completely object orientated and by this may be improved easily.
The main purpose of XCmail is to read and write mails which may have any kind of data added (attached). For this XCmail can handle MIME types and has so called "helpers" to show different types. And XCmail offers "encoders" which encode and decode binary data into ASCII to allow the transport as mail over the Internet.
The GUI (graphical user interface) was designed to be mostly self explaining but of course there may be some things which are not explaining them self like settings or standard names that are unknown to first users.
The GUI was designed to be as simple as it can be and self explaining. Though, there are a few buttons which are not so easy to understand fo first users because are not standard.
XCmail also offers "encoders" which encode and decode binary data into ASCII to allow the transport via mail over the Internet.
The program works with a local mailbox (eg. /var/spool/mail) and multiple POP3 servers. With POP3 XCmail uses the faster UIDL function of POP3 servers (may be disabled if servers dont support this) and has a so called "UIDL history": If you get mails from your POP3 server but dont want to remove them there and later remove them only locally other mailers will read this mails again. Not XCmail! The UIDL history keeps a history of the mails read from the server so it wont read them again.
XCmail supports multiple mailboxes, has an address book for your favority email addresses and XCmail may start external programs to encode mails or handle MIME types.
XCmail also supportes PGP within PGP MIME (RFC 2015)!
Main features:
- allows the user to add multiple parts on one mail, eg. send files together with a text (called attachment)
- get mails from multiple remote mail servers
- send mails to a remote mail server using simple message transfer protokol (SMTP)
- authenticate on SMTP servers - is sometimes required on SMTP servers to stop spammers from relaying
- authenticate at POP3 server before sending mails via SMTP - this is required by some mail servers if they dont offer SMTP AUTH
- encrypt mails so unwanted persons can not read them
- encrypt complete MIME mails - including the attachments. This is a standard specified in RFC 2015
- send a nice and small picture of yourself with any mail - this is shown if the mail is read
- speedup for POP3
- this avoids XCmail from reading the same mails multiple times from the mail server
- to send files (eg. binaries) with a mail they must be encoded - XCmail offers various encoders, from standard uuencode and base64 to Mac HQX
- because not all attached files are programs XCmail offers an open interface to handle those data - eg. open an external viewer for pictures
- with plugins XCmail may be tuned - eg. some encoders and helpers are plugins so they may not be installed if a users doesnt need them - this required less space on disk and memory
- ever send a mail and later seen that it had some words misspelled? With ISpell this is no longer a problem. ISpell offers checks in many langauges!
- Put extra headers in every mail you send, eg some more information on you or some extra settings for mail agents
- put your favorite recipients in XCmails addressbook
- keeps an second internal addressbook for faster choosing an email recipient
- searches your addressbooks for a matching name or address during you type the recipient
- group different folder to one visible vfolder - for better overview
- Dont understand the language of a mail? XCmail may translate it for you by using altavistas babelfish service!
- You want to archiv many or every mail? This takes a lot of disk space?! Use XCmails folder archiv which compresses archived folders using GZIP standard
- sort or remove your mails before you "must" read them
- put are your favorite addresses in the addressbook
- dont know how to translate a word? use the dictionarys in the Web within the XCmail GUI
- using Spam Bouncer as spam filter plugin
- delete selected mails from your POP3 server
- big mails can be transfered explicitely from your POP3 server
- vCards can be read and a personal or official (from your job) vCard can be sent with every mail (you may choose which of them)
- mails of the incoming folder may be moved to a received folder automatically by many options (after reading, replying, forwarding a mail or if it is some days old)
- helps first time users to setup XCmail

wpoison.php is a script that generates page after page of random fake email addresses, and is intended to be used for poisoning spambot email address databases.

wpoison.php is based on verion 1.8p of his script. It is a direct port and functionally equivalent. The reason for this port is that quite a few people do not have the ability to use CGI scripts on their sites. [cCOPYRIGHT=1]

All that is required to run wpoison.php is a web server configured for PHP and some form of a words file. You may download the words file that Ronald makes available on his site below along with the script.

Wpoison helps to combat the junk e-mail problem by effectively thwarting the efforts of junk e-mailers who regularly scan web pages, looking for target e-mail addresses to harvest. (The junk e-mailers subsequently send junk e-mail to all of the e-mail addresses that they harvest from various web sites.)

The idea behind Wpoison is really very simple. Junk e-mailers write programs to automatically scan thousands and thousands of web pages, looking for e-mail addresses which they then send unsolicited junk e-mail to, or which they sell to other spammers. By and large, these address harvesting web crawlers are about as intelligent as the spammers who use and/or develop them, which is to say not very. The majority of these programs can be easily fooled into accepting lots and lots of completely fake and useless e-mail addresses, so long as the bogus addresses in question appear to reside on ordinary nondescript web pages. That is where Wpoison comes in.

Wpoison is what is called a web CGI program. A CGI program is just like any other program, except that its purpose is to generate web pages on the fly and with dynamic content that can be different each time the program runs, which is to say each time the URL where the program is installed is referenced, either by someones web browser, or else by some web-scanning robotic program.

In the case of the Wpoison CGI program, the dynamic content that is generated each time the program is ``visited (by a web browser, or by a web-scanning robot program) is just a list of randomized bogus e-mail addresses, together with a list of randomized web hyper-links.

Now heres the catch... and this is the clever part. Each of the randomized web hyper-links that Wpoison generates looks exactly like an ordinary web hyper-link that leads off to someplace else, i.e. to some different web page having a different web URL. But in fact, that is just a matter of appearances, and the reality is that if you follow any one of these hyper-links, you will actually end up coming right back and executing the Wpoison CGI program again, at which point you will get yet another randomized dynamically generated web page, and that new page will contain its own totally new set of bogus E-mail addresses and also a fresh new set of randomized hyper-links. And of course, each of those new hyper-links will, if followed, lead right back to the Wpoison CGI program yet again, thus starting the whole cycle all over again.

It is important to note that when Wpoison is generating its randomized bogus e-mail addresses (and also its randomized pseudo-hyper-links) it uses an algorithm which makes the total number of different bogus e-mail addresses and pseudo-hyper-links essentially unlimited. In effect, Wpoison is capable of generating an infinite number of different bogus E-mail addresses!

So the basic idea behind Wpoison is to trap unwary and badly engineered address harvesting web crawlers, and to fool them into adding enormous quantities of completely bogus e-mail addresses to the E-mail address data bases of the spammers, thus polluting those data bases so badly that they become essentially useless, thereby putting the spammers who are using them out of business, or at least shutting them down for a time and causing them some major headaches while they try to clean up the messes in their now-heavily-polluted e-mail address data bases.

Binkd is a TCP/IP daemon which transfers files between two Fidonet systems. It supports so-called "Binkley-Style outbound", also supported by most Fidonet software.
It uses its own protocol (called Binkp), but its not a big problem, as binkd (started Nov, 96) now is maybe the most popular fidonet-over-IP technology in the former USSR.
Binkd cannot (and never will) make calls via regular telephone lines, so it should be used not instead of, but along with any other Bink-style Fidonet mailer. Its known that Binkd (at least) runs perfectly together with Ifmail, Brake!, Bink/+, McMail, T-Mail and Xenia mailers.
Binkd comes in ANSI C sources, so it can be built in almost any environment with Berkeley sockets API supported (multitasking is a plus). I know about UNIX (AIX, FreeBSD, NetBSD, Linux, Solaris), OS/2, NT, DOS, and Windows95 ports.
For install just follow these steps:
1. Edit sample binkd.cfg.
2. Run binkd.
