I use "contain" in context of "containment" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Containment Avoid is too strong. We have to face spam and can not avoid spam. Maybe less confusing choice of word is *minimize*. > +### HW: excuse me, maybe I get something completely wrong, but I am a bit > confused here: > +### HW: the chapter is about "remote mail retrieval and forward utilities", > but in > +### HW: the list there only "mail retrievers" listed, none of the utilities > has > +### HW: "forwarding" capabilities (or the "forwarding capability" is missing > the list). getmail - retrieve messages from one or more POP3, IMAP4, or SDPS mailboxes and deliver to a maildir, mboxrd-format mbox file, or external MDA fetchmail is a mail-retrieval and forwarding utility; it fetches mail from remote mailservers and forwards it to your local (client) machine's delivery system. You can then handle the retrieved mail using normal mail user agents such as mutt(1), elm(1) or Mail(1). The fetchmail utility can be run in a daemon mode to repeat‐ edly poll one or more systems at a specified interval.

Well, you are lucky youi never used telnet.
