I have an app that is similar in many ways to the django admin app. My users are requesting access via email. IE, when an object (task in my case) gets created, they want it to send them an email and then they want to be able to respond to that email to update various fields associated with the task.
I'm interested in any insights folks have as to the preferable way to implement this. It seems to me there are a few obvious choices: 1. The guy that manages our IT side of things says I can have a script get executed whenever an email request comes in. This sendmail interface would provide my program with the contents of the email, and my program could be a 'manage.py shell' program that processes the request, opening my database and modifying it accordingly. 2. Similar to 1 above, I could have a script get executed whenever an email request comes in, but instead of actually doing the processing and modifying the database, it could contact the server via a POST and have the server do the work 3. I saw an example of the way jutda does it - they seem to use cron to run their script, and the script is basically in line with 1) above. The cron job runs the script periodically it grabs the email (eithe rvia pop or imap) and them modifies the db via the standard django ORM interface. Maybe there are other ways. Can anyone comment on the pros/cons of these methods of interfacing to my django web app via email? Is there anything I am missing here that I should be looking into?
