Re: How to set up an Internet by e-mail Server?
2010/12/2 rodol...@cimex.com.cu: This is a calling for those who know it, to share the knowledge concerning how to setup such a basic service with the minimum effort and time. I can explain how I have setup the service at w...@dommel.be which is running on a PC with Debian GNU/Linux. Note that in the current state this is NOT easy to setup with minimum effort and time :-( 1. Create a Email address for your www2email service : -- I have create two e-mail adresses: w...@dommel.be www2em...@gmx.com 2. On the PC, create a user www, setup fetchmail to send the Emails to user www: --- In my /etc/fetchmailrc I have : poll pop.gmx.com proto pop3 user www2em...@gmx.com password *, is www here fetchall poll pop.dommel.be proto pop3 user w...@dommel.be password *, is www here fetchall 3. In /home/www, create the following files : - pts/7 jan ~$ cat /home/www/.forward | /home/www/mail2queue pts/7 jan ~$ cat /home/www/mail2queue #!/bin/sh ulimit -u 10 cat - /home/www/queue/$$.mail #cat /home/www/queue/$$.mail /home/www/mail.log pts/7 jan ~$ When user www receives an Email, this Email will be forwarded to the script mail2queue. This script creates a file in /home/www/queue/ with a unique number. So for every Email, a file in /home/www/queue/ will be created. 4. create a script that scans /home/www/queue/ for files and send the result back as an Email You can find the script that I use at http://www.janw.dommel.be/tmp/queue2mail; 5. set up a cronjob that runs this script every 5 minutes : --- I have this in /etc/crontab # w...@dommel.be bot */5 * * * * www /home/www/queue2mail 2 /dev/null 1 /dev/null -- Met vriendelijke groetjes - Jan Wagemakers - -- To contribute to the discussion, email to accmail@listserv.aol.com To unsubscribe, email to the *admin* address lists...@listserv.aol.com with UNSUBSCRIBE ACCMAIL as the message body.

Re: How to set up an Internet by e-mail Server?
From:rodol...@cimex.com.cu I think there must be many people out there interested in set up an Internet by e-mail Service, but just don't know how to do it or do not have the time. This is a calling for those who know it, to share the knowledge concerning how to setup such a basic service with the minimum effort and time. Don't hope for minimum effort and time. When I used accmail (until 2005), I used my own accmail server, I wrote it myself (in Perl). It's the mail2ftp server I described on http://mail2ftp.org.ua , it also has undocumented feature to request webpages in source and text modes. But I made this feature restricted only to my email addresses, because else the inevitable abuse would cause destroying the server by the host operator. I didn't implement any limits besides restricting email addresses which may request pages. One of my mail2ftp servers works on a free web-hosting, currently heliohost.org. Or another free webhosting with cPanel can be used, a list of them: http://www.free-webhosts.com/free-cpanel-hosting.php If you register an account on a web-hosting with cPanel, successfully access cPanel of your account (by accmail methods or using full Internet access) and describe me how you do that then I can give you sources of the server I wrote. But no support, I'll not do the work to set up the server for you, and I'll not give you detailed instructions. It'll be much work for you without help.
