Re: Hurrah! Mail Forward piping works!
You can also use forwarer to pipe emails to a script, eg:
forwardername -> "|/usr/local/bin/php /home/user/path/to/your/script.php"
Hello Everyone,
Sorry for the test emails. While I've been working on v6 of Dada Mail, my host updated their servers and my hosting account, which gave some interesting new features available.
One of those features was the ability to create a mail forward, that pipes directly to a program, which I can take advantage of, in Dada Mail, and more specifically, in Bridge. If you're using cPanel, see if this is available to you, this basically goes through what it takes to uncover it:
http://docs.cpanel.net/twiki/bin/view/AllDocumentation/CpanelDocs/EmailFowarders#Using_the_Pipe_to_Program_Option
If you use this plugin, you'll know that there's this lag between mail that's sent from your subscribers, and mail being checked by Bridge, as it's usually on a cronjob, and if you're like me, you have that cronjob set somewhere around once, every 5 minutes. So, there's 5 minutes between when you send out your message, and when it gets delivered.
By setting up Bridge to instead use a mail forward, messages will get checked as soon as they're delivered and that lag completely goes away.
This used to be How It Was Done, way back in the day, when Bridge was called, "dada_send.pl". There was this major problem of incoming mail causing an infinite loop, if there was anything wrong with the message, or the plugin. I'm hoping to $Deity that that's not the case anymore. My testing so far shows that if there's any problems, the mail just bounces back. Which is wonderful.
Anyways, something to look forward if/when I ever get this release finished,
