Today at 3:06pm, Matt Bradbury expounded: ++ I'm looking for some kind of program that I can leave running on a linux ++ box that will log into a remote IMAP server, review the messages, filter ++ and move them on a ruleset I've created.
Well ... I usually create very hackish solutions to weird problems I have. I once ran NFS over ipmasq over PPP over ssh, with cron periodically restarting things. It worked fine. But it't not for the faint of heart. My method would be to have fetchmail pull the messages periodically, filter them with procmail, and then forward them back to wherever you want them to be. I won't go into detail, but the procmailex man page has some interesting examples, and also read the procmail FAQ. I think there is an unofficial one which has all kinds of weird examples. (That is, if you want the messages to go back to the IMAP server from which they came. Otherwise it is not nearly as complicated.) -- Coding is easy; All you do is sit staring at a terminal until the drops of blood form on your forehead. _______________________________________________ Siglinux mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.utacm.org/mailman/listinfo/siglinux
