I just joined this list five minutes ago, and I've already had a message with a title that looks as though it handles a related topic. But just in case, I'll fire this off, as the archives are still something of an unknown quantity.
What I would like to do is this: set up a dummy server which accepts logins from all who use pop3 or imap protocols, and sends them one message - the same message to all. The scenario resembles this one: we are an ISP. Customer doesn't pay the bill. He gets routed to a captive server, from which we wish him to get one message: Pay your bill. When bill is paid, he is no longer routed to that server. I have half-managed it for imap clients, by creating a file /etc/imap.alert, which pops up during some login. I'd like something similar which works for pop. Ideally I'd like to be able to send a full message, but I'll settle for imap.alert's one liner. All suggestions very welcome.
