Fdm (software)


fdm is a mail delivery agent and email filtering software for Unix-like operating systems, similar to fetchmail and procmail. It has been started in 2006 by a developer who later also started tmux in 2007.

Adoption

fdm is available as a package in many Unix-like operating systems. It has been included in OpenBSD ports since 2007-01-18.
When in 2014 the last maintainer of procmail posted a message to an OpenBSD mailing list himself suggesting to remove the procmail port, it has been suggested by a well-known OpenBSD ports maintainer that fdm is the natural alternative.
fdm is listed on the OpenBSD Innovations page, in the section of projects maintained by OpenBSD developers outside of OpenBSD.
