-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I have a suggestion for a feature that I think will make setup of statusnet easier for some people. I think there should be a way to use a POP or IMAP mailbox (or potentially just POP for simplicity) to do the post via email system, not all hosting environments work well with script aliases, I know mine does not work with them at all. I think it should be able to be run as a cronjob and potentially inside the queue handling system though I think that because this is a fairly basic feature that most people will want and not everyone runs the queues or wants to the cronjob way is more important. One way it could be implemented fairly easily is to just call whatever function processes the mail in the script alias passing it the parameters from the mail it downloaded. The other option to implement this is to mimic the script alias behavior for each email, however that creates more load on the server because it has to reload PHP and the script for each email. Another reason the cronjob would be good if not done the second way is it would create less load on the server to do this even when you can script alias because loading PHP into memory for each email and then interpreting the script and executing it for each email is a lot higher load on a busy server than say once every 10 minutes executing the script, it would probably be better in a few situations even if run every 5 minutes. What do others think of this idea? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.8 (Darwin)
