Suggestion for Mail Archiving Software

2000-09-08 Thread I. Forbes
Hello All

Has anybody get experience with and/or suggestions for mail 
archiving software.

I want copies of all mail arriving at certain addresses (sales, info, 
abuse etc) to be fed into an archive.  Ideally it should have the 
following features:

-   The archive should be accessible by a web or perhaps IMAP
interface.  

-   It should be rotated say once a month. 

-   The archive files themselves should be compressed. 

There are lots of mailing lists which get archived, so there should 
be a number of programs to choose from.

Any suggestions? 

Thanks

Ian

You could do this with qmail. Qmail has a compile-time option to activate
such a feature. Further information is available in the qmail faq at
http://www.qmail.org

MHonarc, without a doubt.

Incredibly configurable.
Debian package of the same name.

Multiple 'timed' Autoresponders

2000-09-08 Thread Scott Thompson
I have a need for a service, and am quite prepated to write a little C to
take care of it. My Linux administrator suggested that it would be about the
only way that he is aware of doing what I need. I just wanted to put forth
my requirements and see if someone had done, or has an idea for me.

I would like to have the ability to send out multiple timed autoresponses.
I.E.
1) When a message is received, immediately send out a 'I got this message'
response
2) 5 Days later send out another autoresponder
3) 14 Days later send out a follow up autoresponse...
etc.

Some clients want more, some want less and the day interval needs to be
different from user to user. Also, keep in mind that each autoresponse is a
different message. I relize that I will likely have to build a web interface
to manage these responses, I was just hoping that I wouldn't have to code
the actual mailing and managment of the times.

Thanks!
