Mail Monitoring
|
||||
===============
|
||||
|
||||
Rattail has a basic "Mail Monitoring" (mailmon) service which can
|
||||
watch an IMAP folder, and perform actions on any messages which
|
||||
appear.
|
||||
|
||||
Note that one of those actions, presumably the last, should be to
|
||||
*move* the message into a different IMAP folder, or perhaps delete it
|
||||
outright. This is to avoid re-processing the same message over and
|
||||
over. The IMAP folder being watched is essentially treated as a
|
||||
"queue" and everything in it will be processed.
|
||||
|
||||
Example config for this looks something like (in ``mailmon.conf``):
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: ini
|
||||
|
||||
[rattail.mailmon]
|
||||
monitor = myfolder
|
||||
|
||||
myfolder.imap.server = mail.example.com
|
||||
myfolder.imap.username = myuser
|
||||
myfolder.imap.password = mypass
|
||||
myfolder.imap.folder = INBOX.Incoming-Messages
|
||||
myfolder.actions = download, move
|
||||
myfolder.action.download.func = rattail.mailmon.actions:download_message
|
||||
myfolder.action.download.args = /srv/envs/poser/app/work/mailmon/myfolder
|
||||
myfolder.action.download.kwarg.locking = true
|
||||
myfolder.action.move.func = rattail.mailmon.actions:move_message
|
||||
myfolder.action.move.args = INBOX.Processed-Messages
|
||||
|
||||
In the above example we are watching the "Incoming-Messages" folder,
|
||||
which is a subfolder of the INBOX itself. Any messages which appear
|
||||
there will be downloaded to local file system, and then moved to the
|
||||
"Processed-Messages" IMAP folder on the server.
|
||||
|
||||
Running the command is usually done via supervisor (so as to make it
|
||||
behave as a proper service), but the command line itself looks like:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: sh
|
||||
|
||||
cd /srv/envs/poser
|
||||
sudo -u rattail bin/rattail -c app/mailmon.conf mailmon start
