External filter kludge?
I was trying to find a way to get TB to work with an external mail filtering pgm. What I was considering was: 1. External pgm writes a batch file for TB. 2. TB sees this file and executes: /check dummy (this gets the POP3 mail) 'dummy' filter puts all mail in a Unix file /export flag file (this tells the external pgm it is done) 3. External pgm process the Unix email file, then writes another batch file for TB 4. TB sees this file and executes: /import processed file to 'real' mail account inbox But - at this point, I can't think of a way to get TB to run the new mail through the 'real' account filters, and thus sort everything into the right folders. I'm trying to do this as automatically as possible. I realize I could repeat the kludge for each folder, but this gets eaaallly kludgy :-). Any way to get TB to run this folder through the filters? OR - is there a better way to do this? As a beginner, I'm still learning about TB :-). Any ideas/solutions much appreciated. ztrader -- -- View the TBUDL archive at http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com To send a message to the list moderation team double click here: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe from TBUDL, double click here and send the message: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- You are subscribed as : archive@jab.org

Re: Subj: Sending mail without SMTP server.

VM Was wrong on last mail!!! now it is VM correct MDP This looks like the address of a POP server rather than an SMTP MDP server. Last I heard, many email servers were able to effectively multitask. ;) This address may be POP only, but it couldn't hurt to see if there's an SMTP server running on the same machine, could it? I thought that sending mail via pop servers was possible as on some menus it was an option... More to the point if you KNOW a relaying server mentioning it on lists like this one which is read by spammers (!) can mean it will be used by them and that means the hole gets blocked... Open servers of any kind shouldnt be broadcast into the open to mailing lists...

Re: External filter kludge?
Hello ztrader, On Saturday, September 02, 2000 at 15:03:51 GMT -0700 (which was 3:03 PM where I live) witnesses say ztrader typed: 1. External pgm writes a batch file for TB. 2.

As a beginner, I'm still learning about TB :-). I'm not sure I'm following you completely, so please let me know if this is applicable. You want TB to fetch your mail from the server, export it, have an external program process it and then import it back into TB? If that's the case, do you already have the external program, or are you planning on writing one for this task? Either way, there may be a less complicated solution for what you want. My suggestion would be, get a program that will act like a local mail server (Hamster springs to mind, but I'm sure there are lots of other ones). Hopefully you can find one that will store the messages in a plain text file format. Once you do that, have your filtering program run on this server file. When that's complete, TB could just download the mail like normal, except it would get it from your local server instead of your ISP. If this is not acceptable, then how about creating a second account (account B)in TB. So now you'd have account A and B in TB. Change account A so it never checks your mail server for new messages. In account B, change your e-mail address slightly (eg [EMAIL PROTECTED]), and set account B so it can check your mail for you. Also, under Networking and Administration, select "Allow Local Delivery." This just bypasses your ISP's mail server. In fact, you can make it so Account B can not access your ISP's mail server, and this should work. Now for the rest of this, you'll have to play around to find the best solution. You can export using filters, or using command line parameters in a batch file. See the help file for use of the /Export command line parameter (it's under the contents tab, not the index). Have your batch file call your external program, then use the command line /Import function to import your processed file back into a subfolder in Account B. Run a manual filter on this subfolder. This manual folder should redirect your messages to the address specified in account A (eg [EMAIL PROTECTED]), and delete them from the subfolder. Now your messages will be processed as though you were downloading them off of your mail server. This second method may prove to be effective, you'll just need to play around to see what will work best for your purposes. Hope this helped. -- Thanks for writing, Januk Aggarwal See header for e-mail address Using The Bat! 1.46 Beta/3 under Windows 98 4.10 Build A -- -- View the TBUDL archive at http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com To send a message to the list moderation team double click here: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe from TBUDL, double click here and send the message: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- You are subscribed as : archive@jab.org
