Re: [Dbmail] Execute Script when Mail is Received ...

[Danil V. Gerun]

Hello. I have the same idea and keep developing it (in my mind yet =)) ) for several months ;) I also want to have a filter for DBMail managed by users from the web-interface. I do not have enough time though to code it know, but I've planned to do it the following way so far: I have Exim and I'll pipe all the mail into some script (I guess it might be even PHP; may be C-program when I feel myself more comfortable in C :-) ). Then the script will connect to the database and get some rules or templates which are used to filter the messages. The result will be: delete a message, put it in some particular IMAP-folder or do nothing. Then the script will pipe the message to dbmail-smtp (with some keys if necessary).

This solution could be unpractical on servers with heavy mail traffic.

Morning Everyone,

Hi!

The reason for me asking is because not all people may have this
option and I am working on a webmail interface application for dbmail
that I would like to have message filtering as an option to people
that use it, but to be able to do this some sort of script will have
to be called upon message received so that it can "categorize"
(filter) as need per the user's settings. (I hope that made sense).

Why not filter before it hits dbmail?

Have say MTA (qmail/postfix/sendmail etc) --> filter --> dbmail ?

You can provide options to dbmail-smtp to specify which folder to
deliver to. So e.g. if in an imap setup, you could place spam in to a
junk folder.

I believe sieve support is in progress within dbmail which should handle
some of this, not sure how far its come along though.
