fdm (mail agent)

https://github.com/nicm/fdm
A mail delivery agent and email filtering software

fdm (fetch/filter and deliver mail) is a program designed to fetch mail from POP3 or IMAP servers, or receive local mail from stdin, and deliver it in various ways depending on a user-supplied ruleset. Mail may be filtered based on whether it matches a regexp, its size or age, or the output of a shell command. It can be rewritten by an external process, dropped, left on the server or delivered into maildirs, mboxes, to a file or pipe, or any combination.

fdm is designed to be lightweight but powerful, with a compact but clear configuration syntax. It is primarily designed for single-user uses but may also be configured to deliver mail in a multi-user setup. In this case, it uses privilege separation to minimize the amount of code running as the root user.
