Unneeded CPU usage.

And if there's mail, there is a max 5 minute delay in getting the  
mails.

You can change the time between checks in the cronjob.


Yes, I can set the cronjob to check every minute, but that's even  
more CPU usage.


I doubt running that cronjob is going to slow down your machine. If  
it is you really need to get a better machine for your OTRS  
installation. Checking for mail is just something that needs to be  
done if you don't have a mailserver on the same machine.


Even if I had enough CPU power, I still have the issue with the  
attachments.


I have no experience with using OTRS with large attachments so I  
can't help you with that. I don know the issue comes along on this  
mailinglist frequently. Usually the problem is the MySQL maximum  
packet size or something like that, but since you said it worked fine  
when piping the mail directly into the system, I guess that is not  
the problem you're seeing.

Well I do use PostMasterPOP3.pl at this moment. Two things I don't  
like:
- Cron running the script every 5 minutes, even if there may be no

- Max filesize of attachments. In OTRS 2.0.4 PostMsterPOP3.pl crashes 
with large attachments, in CVS it just doesn't download messages with 
attachments larger than 6144Kb. Directly pipe the mail to PostMaster.pl 
doesn't have this problem.

[otrs] Feeds mails to OTRS via HTTP(S)

2006-08-03 Thread Richard Hinkamp - BeSite

Hello,

In my test environment I have OTRS installed which I feed through a 
procmail filter which pipes the email to PostMaster.pl (used the 
.procmailrc.dist from OTRS package for that).
In my production environment I have separate servers for email and for 
OTRS. So I can filter incoming mails with procmail, but I don't have 
access to the PostMaster.pl script because it's on another server, so I 
can't pipe to that directly. I don't like the idea of PostMastDaemon.pl, 
I don't want to run daemons for every OTRS installation. Because the 
server already runs a webserver for OTRS, I would like to feed the mail 
to OTRS via HTTP(S). Has anybody tried this before? Can it be done?

Richard
