That's why I setup the Google Apps account for hp.o in the first place, hoping we could get it to work like we needed it. Unless we do a regularly-scheduled IMAP check every x minutes, there's no way we could get [email protected] to work from Google Apps, unless we maintained a separate distribution list independent of -private... which I don't think anyone really wants. If you want to throw together a quick IMAP-checking script, I don't think anyones feelings would be hurt if we tried it out. Sean wrote this one simply because it seemed the best way to handle what we needed it to handle at the time. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/habari-dev -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
