.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
program fetches mail from a POP3 or IMAP server or from
.Em stdin
and delivers it based on a ruleset in the configuration file.
.Pp
The options are as follows:
.Bl -tag -width "-f conffileXXX"
.It Fl a Ar name
Process only the specified account.
This option may appear multiple times.
The account name may include shell glob characters to match multiple accounts.
.Pp
.It Fl D Ar name Ns = Ns Ar value
This option defines a macro for use when parsing the configuration file.
The macro name must be prefixed with
.Li $
or
.Li %
to specify a string or numeric macro.
This option may appear multiple times.
.It Fl f Ar conffile
Specify the configuration file location.
Default is
.Pa ~/.fdm.conf ,
or
.Pa /usr/local/etc/fdm.conf
if that doesn't exist.
.Pp
.It Fl k
Keep all mail after delivery, regardless of whether it matches a
.Ic drop
action.
Note that mails kept in this way will be refetched by
.Nm
if it is run again on the same account.
.It Fl l
Log using
.Xr syslog 3
rather than to
.Em stderr .
.Pp
.It Fl m
Ignore the lock file and run regardless of other instances of
.Nm .

Do not process any accounts, just verify the configuration file syntax and exit.
.Pp
.It Fl q

.Pp
.It Fl u Ar user
Specify the default user for delivery.
This overrides the
.Ic default-user
option in the configuration file.

Request verbose logging.
This option may be specified multiple times.
.Fl vv
will print information on configuration (useful with

This feature is disabled when using the
.Fl l
flag.
.Pp
.It Fl x Ar name

Multiple
.Fl x
options may be specified.
As with

shell glob characters may be used.
