     22=== Processing mail from a third-party mailserver ===
     23If your Trac server lacks postfix and you want mail2trac to handle e-mail from a distinct server, you could use [http://fetchmail.berlios.de/ Fetchmail] to download the e-mails and process them with mail2trac.
     24
     25Example fetchmail command:
     26
     27{{{
     28fetchmail --protocol POP3 --port 110 --user [mailaccount] --mda "mail2trac -p /path/to/trac/environment" mailhost.domain.com
     29}}}

    3241While mail2trac is less mature, to the front-end user there shouldn't be considerable difference for the case of creating and responding to tickets.  From a development point of view, I would recommend mail2trac over email2trac as a point to build on since a pluggable architecture was the point since the beginning.

    34 == Processing mail from a third-party mailserver ==
    35 E-mails are handled by the mail2trac executable.  Normally the mail transfer software would execute this program for each incoming mail.
    36 
    37 If your Trac installation is separate from the e-mail infrastructure, you can use use [http://fetchmail.berlios.de/ Fetchmail] to download the e-mails from the external server.
