I've been Googling like a mad fiend and flipping through my hard-copy Python books, but still haven't located the one little bit of info I need.
I've put together a simple SMTP-after-IMAP script that gets the authorized IP info from the mail log (I know, it's not elegant but it works). All works fine up until I go to scan the database of added IP addresses to delete the old ones. The problem is, I don't know how to drop a record from an anydbm database! The database file in question is compatible with the database built using "makemap hash imapauth < imapauth" - in fact, I'm using makemap to check the file contents against what I'm expecting. I'm adding records with code such as: db = anydbm.open(accessDbPath, "w") db[ipAddress] = str(time.time()) Now how can I go about deleting that record when it's too old? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
