Thanks. I worry that by inlining the entire message in the curl command, the
message might exceed some limits on how long a command can be. Some of my
messages are up to 20MBs with the attachments and 1MB messages are very common.
I also worry about the raw message having unescaped quotes in the message
messing up to actual storage of the message in the INBOX. Are HTML mail
messages encoded to be safe to enclose in quotations? Or, should I encode the
entire mail message and trust that Dovecot can handle decoding the message in
the back end?
I figure that it would be better to put the message in a file and include it
some way as part of the HTTP request data. But, does the doveadm HTTP server
handle 20MB requests in a single HTTP request? Probably, it does, but I know I
had to configure MySQL to take large SQL queries and they really recommend that
large files be broken up into chunks and stored with multiple queries
(especially for replication).
I’ll probably implement message delivery in PHP using a class that can safely
post a large file in an HTTP request, so I won’t really be using curl directly
at a bash command line.
Do you know of any PHP class for the Doveadm HTTP API that I might use?
