animail - Multiserver mail retrieval utility

'Animail' is a multiserver POP3/APOP/IMAP4 (with or without SSL) mail retrieval utility. It has an advanced filtering system based on blacklisting, whitelisting, or a combination of both, and can send an autoresponse which prompts people to reply and add themselves to the 'autoaccept' file.

It also allows filters based on regular expressions which match against email headers. (If a message is filtered, only the header is downloaded, not the entire body.) users can also combine external filtering programs (e.g. SpamAssassin or Bogofilter) as message post-download plugins, which extends filtering capabilities in an unlimited way. Delivery options include mailbox, maildir, local SMTP, and pipe to a command.
