All, I have been considering writing a "ListenSMTP" processor and was wondering *what is the best way of dealing with multiple attachments*.
Looking in here https://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/nifi-users/201602.mbox/%3ccaljk9a5ulcitnfo0dlsvd5d-jkcsqm+rqjxuruzwgrdbqad...@mail.gmail.com%3E I can read Joe suggesting not using attributes to store large volumes of data, so far so good, however, as far as I understand a flowfile can only contain one "content". Currently the way I envision this would be modular that taps into the pattern set by ListenSyslog / ParseSyslog: ListenSMTP - A processor that only provides an SMTP interface ParseEmail - A processor that reads the flowfile holding the email body and split it into 1 or more flowfiles containing the attached mime objects. The advantage here is that people can use FetchFile or to create a GetIMAP processor to parse messages. Would anyone have a different view on how to achieve this? I thank you in advance
