ssoma is a git-based mail archiver and transport. Email is injected via ssoma-mda(1) (MDA: mail delivery agent) on a server and may be shared (via git) and extracted to mbox, Maildir, or IMAP via ssoma(1). ssoma exists primarily as the mechanism (not policy) for public-inbox but may easily be used for other projects.
Readers of public-inbox instances may install ssoma to extract messages into their favorite mail client for reading. See http://public-inbox.org/ for more information on how ssoma is used. Source code: git clone git://80x24.org/ssoma WWW: http://ssoma.public-inbox.org/ Installation info: http://ssoma.public-inbox.org/INSTALL.html Discussion: m...@public-inbox.org (no subscription required[1]) You may subscribe to m...@public-inbox.org via ssoma: LISTNAME is a name of your choosing: URL=git://public-inbox.org/meta LISTNAME=public-inbox # to initialize a maildir (this may be a new or existing maildir, # ssoma will not touch existing messages) # If you prefer mbox, use mbox:/path/to/mbox as the last argument ssoma add $LISTNAME $URL maildir:/path/to/maildir # read with your favorite MUA (only using mutt as an example) mutt -f /path/to/maildir # (or /path/to/mbox) # to keep your mbox or maildir up-to-date, periodically run the following: ssoma sync $LISTNAME # your MUA may modify and delete messages from the maildir or mbox, # this does not affect ssoma functionality at all # to sync all your ssoma subscriptions ssoma sync # You may wish to sync in your cronjob ssoma sync --cron If you prefer web browsers, you may also read the list at: http://public-inbox.org/meta/ without installing ssoma Or use an Atom feed reader: http://public-inbox.org/meta/atom.xml [1] - or possible at this point: public-inbox is an archives first, pull-based approach to mailing lists. Anybody may also run a push service on top of it, though. Mail repository format ---------------------- If you are uncomfortable running code in ssoma for any reason and would rather read directly from the git repository, the following document describes it: http://ssoma.public-inbox.org/ssoma_repository.txt Thanks for reading this far! -- Eric Wong -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
