Hi, everyone.
I'm posting here to announce a new EPS tool that I hope
will be available soon.
If anyone has read my previous posts to the mailing list
about what EPS does, and if you downloaded it, and have
possibly made use of it in it's early production phase,
cheers to you.
eTrack will perform the following functions:
* New person emails your company's main address,
say [EMAIL PROTECTED]
* eTrack looks them up in the eTrack database to see
if their name and/or email address appears there.
* If it doesn't it sends them a preconfigured email,
and adds their name (if it appears), their email address,
and what mail client they're using, to the database.
* If it does, it looks them up, and checks if their mail
client has been changed/upgraded. If it has, it records
that change.
* Optionally, if you have the EPS email archiving system
installed, which is currently packaged with the development
EPS, it will archive the email, and store the ID, so that
later tools can let you look at all the emails to your
main email address from the eTrack database.
* Finally, the email goes through to the recipients of the
address that it was intended for.
You probably know by now if this will be of any use to you. It's
a rather easy tool to develop, since EPS makes all the email interaction
very easy.
Again, if you have any ideas, or interest in the EPS project, which
will eventually contain our spam filtering, and virus scanning code,
please, by all means, subscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED], and
post. :)
As a note to anyone who did download it, and wonder how to use it.
Right now, it's still in it's very early development phase, and there
aren't any easy scripts for configuring and installing. When it
finally does go stable, all those things will be included, and
vpopmail will have it's own internal support for the EPS features.
We may also release some patches for qmail as well. Basically,
we want installed with everyone's new mail server, a way to filter,
and otherwise monitor both incoming and outgoing messages automatically.
EPS will allow for this.
Okay. That's it for now.
