Re: Program Delivery and Archiving

forget program delivery - too complicated. just set up a POP account that's signed up on the mailing list and pull that account using PHP or Perl or a shell cron job running fetchmail (or whatever). then, create your archive from the POP account.

Does anybody have a recommendation regarding a console app that can be used with Post.Office to create a web browsable archive of email messages from a mailing list? I want to be able to provide mailing list members the option of reading past threads via the web. This would be used in conjunction with the "Program Delivery" option: "Program Delivery

Select this option to turn on delivery of incoming messages to external programs. Program Delivery allows the user to have incoming mail redirected to an "console app" (non-GUI) program. This program can be supplied by the user (although it must be copied into the "trusted" directory, e.g. /usr/local/post.office/trusted, by the UNIX system administrator).

The delivery program is invoked once for each incoming message, which is fed into the delivery program via STDIN. The delivery program runs in the security context of the UNIX user account specified in the Program Delivery section of the account management web form.

Program Deliveries require special security considerations and should not be enabled without referring to the Manual and ensuring the desired configuration has been set up. Program-Delivery capability is disabled by default during installations and upgrades."

TIA for any assistance that can be provided.
