Re: [xmail] Email all local accounts?

[Ivo Smits]

Hi,

I don't think this is directly supported. You can generate a list of 
e-mail addresses from the mailusers file, for example using this command 
on linux:

cat mailusers.tab | sed -n 's/^\([^]*\)\t\([^]*\)\t.*$/\2@\1/p'

You could write the output to a file and pass it to sendmail using the 
--rcpt-file option.

Hey guys,

Quick question; is there a way to broadcast an email to all XMail 
accounts on a  single server?


I need to inform everyone, about 800 accounts, that I will do hardware 
maintenance this week-end.


Thanks

Hi,

Thanks for your reply, here is what I have come up with if someone else is
interested.

#!/usr/local/bin/php
?php

function xmail_accounts_list($tabfile)
{
$accounts = array();
$lines = file($tabfile);
foreach ($lines as $line_num = $line)
{
$data = explode(\t, $line);
$accounts[] = substr($data[1], 1, -1) . @ .
substr($data[0], 1, -1);
}
return $accounts;
}

function send_maintenance_mail($account)
{
$to = strtolower($account);
$from = postmas...@yourdomain.com;
$current_date = date(Y-m-d G:i:s);
$subject = Your subject;

$mime_boundary = mail.yourdomain.com . md5(time());

$headers = From: postmas...@yourdomain.com
postmas...@yourdomain.com \n;
$headers .= Reply-To: postmas...@yourdomain.com,  . $to . \n;
$headers .= MIME-Version: 1.0\n;
$headers .= Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary=\ .
$mime_boundary . \\n;

$message = -- . $mime_boundary . \n;
$message .= Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8\n;
$message .= Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit\n\n;

$message .= html\n;
$message .= body\n;
$message .= Your message. \n;
$message .= /body\n;
$message .= /html\n;

$message .= -- . $mime_boundary . --\n\n;

if(mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers))
{
return true;
}
else
{
return false;
}
}

$accounts = xmail_accounts_list(/mailsrv/MailRoot/mailusers.tab);

foreach ($accounts as $account_num = $account)
{
if(!send_maintenance_mail($account))
{
echo Error sending mail to  . $account;
exit;
}
}

echo Email sent to  . count($accounts) .  accounts.\n;

exit;

?
