How can I use fetchmail with SOCKS?
Giuseppe Guerini added a –with-socks option that supports linking with socks library. If you specify the value of this option as “yes”, the configure script will try to find the Rconnect library and set the makefile up to link it. You can also specify a directory containing the Rconnect library. Alan Schmitt has added a similar –with-socks5 option that may work better if you have a recent version of the SOCKS library.
