Description
Implements a basic (receive-only) server using Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP). This allows mail to be sent directly into this agent from external mail servers. This agent is MIME compatible and can extract all enclosures within a mail message. This agent is capable of decoding both base64 and uuencoded enclosures.Note: This agent is not intended to serve as a primary mail server. It has been used in experiments where mail is redirected from peoples "desktops" via Eudora and Claris Emailer "rules".
Configuration Variables
mailingListA list of names to use to accept mail. Mail must be addressed with one of these names or it will be ignored. For example:
(mailingList john_doe sue_martin)keepNameOfPoster
Defaults to true. Causes the name of the poster (who the mail is from) to be appended to the identification of the product.pushMailUponReceipt (new in iPAM 2.3)
Defaults to false. If true, incoming mail products are pushed to all clients upon receipt and not queued unless the agent is paused. Otherwise, mail is added to a persistent queue and released only when the connecting agents request/pull a product.useAttachments
Defaults to true. If false, the PIM will ignore enclosures if they are present.
Product
The PIM produces a simple product if there is only one mail item or a VectorProduct if there are multiple email items on the queue at the time that the PIM contents are retrieved by an agent connected to the output.
How it works
Uses a built in SMTP service. This allows mail to be sent directly to the iPAM server.
