Hi Jason,
Since solving my problem, I have done some tinkering with the 'tmda-pending'
script, so that I can use it for multiple uses, from within a script that is
being run as root.
Now I believe this could be a good addition to the tmda-pending script in
the next version of tmda, just in case others have the same issue.
Here are the additions I have made to my tmda-pending:
...
Usage:
...
-u <username>
--user=<username>
Specify a username for tmda-pending to run as.
...
...
import pwd
...
...
...
try:
opts, args = getopt.getopt(sys.argv[1:],
'cu:ipbrdsTSCADR:Y:O:vqVh',
['config-file=',
'user=',
...
...
...
elif opt in ('-u', '--user'):
os.environ['USER'] = arg
os.environ['HOME'] = pwd.getpwnam(arg)[5]
...
...
And with those changes, in my perl script (runnning as root) sitting on our
mail server listening to requests from the web interface, when a user wants
to release a message, the command below is called:
exec( "tmda-pending --user=$user -b -r -q $msgid.msg" );
Well it may be useful, or it might not be.
