There's a fundamental difference in behaviour to do with where the mail is actually stored. Anything that works by connecting to an IMAP server and downloading all the new messages to hold and read locally really is missing the point. I think there is a genuine effort to help make it easier to use and to abstract the backend, but it doesn't seem the coder has a handle on it themselves. They seem more familiar with filesystem based mail then the network ones- and then familiarity with pop3 rules. Therefore me, as a newb, has next to no hope of figuring it out... :/ One of the biggest problems is the username confuses any other module method than the Mail::Box::IMAP4 - the syntax is user@domain, and so if I use Mail::Box::Manager it will compile it into a url form ie imap4://user@domain:password@mail.server which it obviously barfs on and refuses to look beyond user@domain. Yeah, IMAP4 doesn't do URL-style things itself, so this is a fiction invented to appease the higher layers of Mail::Box. Unfortunately, '@' is of syntactic significance to URL schemes, making it difficult to incorporate usernames containing it. Hmmm can you substitute a hex encoded character string in that username? %40 should be the encoding for an @ character. That could work... I might have a crack at that. I thought pop3 would have trouble as well, you can use that username structure there too. I really seem to be missing something fundamental here. I'm only trying to create some tools which will handle some situations apparently only local to my systems, and improve my perl foo before I start creating modules of my own and testing mod_perl. If someone can help clear this up I'll be happy to communicate off list if that is necessary. Is all the e-mail you have to deal with stored on your IMAP4 server? If so, then using Mail::IMAPClient directly[*] might serve you better rather than through the Mail::Box and Mail::Transport classes. However, that's a much lower level interface and you'll need to be fairly au-fait with RFC 3501. (That's not as bad as it sounds: all it boils down to is finding what the command is called in the IMAP protocol when you want to achieve a particular effect.) Yes... I was dreading that a bit, but it does seem easier. I was hoping it would be more like Email::Simple, but it doesn't seem to be there yet. That said, I'll try that trick and see if it works first. One thing that I notice on a cursory reading of Mail::Box::IMAP4 is that it seems to assume things about the behaviour of the IMAP message store which aren't necessarily true for all different IMAP servers. (ICBW -- it was a /very/ cursory reading.) Usernames of the form 'n...@example.com' are one of those things you can do with IMAP which tend to come as a bit of a surprise to people used to other mailclient protocols. It seems to make some assumptions based on common uses, and I believe it said you can override others; but yes it is also still under development - a note which appears and disappears from time to time :S Thanks for the help guys.

I'll look into that at some point, but I'm not entirely sure it will be necessary in my situation. I finally decided to scrap Mail::Box and go with Mail::IMAPClient instead as suggested (I didn't even bother with the workaround), and it worked immediately! So I'm stoked... much simpler to use. Should have called it Mail::IMAPSimple instead :) All that googling for nought! Mail::IMAPClient never really came up as a contender when searching perl imap - it was all about Mail::Box. Weird...

mail problems
i've setup my webramp700s to send logs to my freebsd machine daily. however, it says that it cannot send the mail. i really don't know much about sendmail, but these two processes are running: root 85 0.0 0.3 2884 1592 ?? Ss 22Oct02 9:05.25 sendmail: accepting connections (sendmail) smmsp 88 0.0 0.3 2788 1484 ?? Is 22Oct02 0:13.08 sendmail: Queue runner@00:30:00 for /var/spool/clientmqueue (sendmail) i'm assuming this will allow for the receipt of email. is there more that needs to be done? -Sameer __ Do you Yahoo!?

Starting with FreeBSD 4.6 (I think) Sendmail must be running to accept mail from the localhost. That is likely what your first sendmail process is doing there. It may not be listening on the external interface. You can check this by telnetting to port 25 and see if you can connect. Edit your /etc/rc.conf file and make sure you have sendmail_enable=YES in it somewhere. Then: # sh /etc/rc.sendmail stop sh /etc/rc.sendmail start to make sure it's going properly. Doublecheck by telnetting again. -- The information contained in this email is confidential.

Root Mail Problems
FreeBSD Users, I've been using FreeBSD for quite some time now and have never had any real difficulty with it until now. My BSD box (4.7) runs as a gateway/firewall for my adsl and i've been doing a little fine tuning lately, and one of those is to get my BSD box to forward all mail that is sent to the root account to my real email address. I figured this wouldn't be to difficult. I've tried two things so far which both don't work. 1) Create a .forward file in my root folder with my email address in it, this supposedly will forward all mail to the address. This didn't work. 2) Edited the aliases file in /etc and added my email address (and rebuilt) for the root account. This didn't work either. After inspecting the maillog here is what I'm seeing. -- Nov 2 03:11:43 Kantserver sendmail[1284]: gethostbyaddr(1.1.4.1) failed: 1 Nov 2 03:11:43 Kantserver sendmail[1284]: gA29BhZg001284: from=kizer, size=345, class=0, nrcpts=1, msgid=200211020911.gA29BhZg001284@Kantserver, relay=root@localhost Nov 2 03:11:47 Kantserver sendmail[1286]: gA29BhZg001284: [EMAIL PROTECTED], ctladdr=kizer (1001/0), delay=00:00:04, xdelay=00:00:04, mailer=esmtp, pri=30054, relay=vm4-ext.prodigy.net. [207.115.63.115], dsn=5.6.0, stat=Data format error Nov 2 03:11:47 Kantserver sendmail[1286]: gA29BhZg001284: gA29BlZf001286: DSN: Data format error Nov 2 03:11:47 Kantserver sendmail[1286]: gA29BlZf001286: to=kizer, delay=00:00:00, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=local, pri=31369, relay=local, dsn=2.0.0, stat=Sent -- I'm not good at reading these but is the prodigy address telling me that it doesn't like the fact the the from address isn't from a FQDN? That's the impression that I get. Funny thing is this...I can run the same command to send an email to my hotmail account and it WILL work, or a friends email and it WILL work, so what gives? Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Ed To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
