Hello,
This is a reply to an e-mail that you wrote on Thu, 17 Jul 2003 at 14:04, lines
prefixed by '' were originally written by you.
Ok, this is what I want to do. I would like to parse a mailbox and
forward
the returned mail in it to other users. For instance, if I send an
e-mail
to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED] doesn't exist it is
going
to send the return to [EMAIL PROTECTED]. I want to parse
[EMAIL PROTECTED] and
send the e-mail to whoever is in the Disposition-Notification-To
header of
the e-mail. Anyone know where I can find a good script to parse mail
boxes
or maybe give me an idea of where to start? I checked hotscripts and
some
others but they are complete web based e-mail systems. I'd like to
run this
as a cron job if possible and I don't want to tear another system all
apart
If you have the imap php extensions installed you could use them (they support
POP too) I normally work on systems without the imap enxtensions though so I
chose to make my own class to deal with POP3 related tasks. Here are some
snippets that you may find useful...
class POPClient {
..
function Connect(){
// connect to server
if(!$this-[EMAIL PROTECTED]($this-server, $this-port)){
$this-error = Could not connect to
{$this-server}:{$this-port};
return FALSE;
}
// login to server:
fputs($this-sock, USER {$this-user}\r\n);
$buf = fgets($this-sock, 1024);
if($buf[0] != '+'){
$this-error = Invalid username: {$this-user};
return FALSE;
}
fputs($this-sock, PASS {$this-pass}\r\n);
$buf = fgets($this-sock, 1024);
if($buf[0] != '+') {
$this-error = Invalid password;
return FALSE;
}
$this-connected = TRUE;
return TRUE;
}
snip
function MessageCount(){
if($this-connected){
fputs($this-sock, STAT\r\n);
$buf = fgets($this-sock, 1024);
$buf = fgets($this-sock, 1024);
$statbits = split(' ', $buf, 3);
if(isset($statbits[1])){
return $statbits[1];
} else {
return 0;
}
} else {
$this-error = Not connected to server;
return FALSE;
}
}
snip
function RetrieveMsg($id, $headonly=FALSE){
if($this-connected){
if($headonly){ $command=TOP; $param= 0; } else {
$command=RETR; $param=; }
fputs($this-sock, $command $id$param\r\n);
$buf = fgets($this-sock, 1024);
if($buf[0] != '+') {
$this-error = Mail server would not let me retrieve message
$id;
return FALSE;
}
$message=;$thisline=;
while ($thisline!=.\r\n){ // .\r\n signifies the end of the
message
$thisline = fgets($this-sock, 1024);
$this-messagesource .= $thisline;
}
return TRUE;
} else {
$this-error = Not connected to server;
return FALSE;
}
}
snip
}
