Subject: IMAP4 Proxy to add headers and modify body of an incoming
message
Hello,
I am trying to write an IMAP proxy to modify headers and the body of an
incoming message using twisted. I am new to python and twisted so
maybe this is why I either picked the wrong route or don't have the
skills to get through some issues and I'm hoping that some you fine
list members can point me in the right direction.
I started by using the IMAP4Client and IMAP4Server to do the proxying.
However, I realized that in certain cases, the IMAP4Server requires
synchronous results but since I need to do an async call using the
client the handling is not working properly. I ran into this when
implementing getFlags() in the IMessage and I am not sure how I can get
out of this short of changing the IMAP4Server code to handle Deferreds.
Am I on the right track? Is imap4 lib the right tool for this job? If
so, is modifying IMAP4Server to handle Deferreds the right thing to do?
If not, what would you recommend?
Sounds like you diagnosed the problem correctly. IMAP4Server needs to
handle Deferreds here and doesn't currently.
