I am after an auto-whitelist function. Something along these lines: create_pending_msg() runs with PENDING_DIR set to ~/.Maildir/.TMDA.pending/cur/ User "flags" a pending message to signal release and whitelist of message (flags defined in next line) FAM watches ~/.Maildir/.TMDA.pending/cur/ for changes, specifically "\Flagged" being set (RFC2060, 2.3.2) FAM calls tmda-pending -b -r -W <message> when ~/.Maildir/.TMDA.pending/cur/<flagged message> occurs - I haven't looked seriously at FAM, all I know is that it watches dirs/files, so I don't know if it will do what I want. This is rough thinking about how I think it should work - I know I shold wait for Maildir enabled pending dir to be "safe," but I think when TMDA gets pending as Maildir, I won't have to change anything (I think) I have three questions: 1. is the code for create_pending_msg() safe enough to deliver straight to cur/ ? I know a Maildir delivery method is in the works, but I'm not up to speed on how important it is to have "safe" maildir deliveries. Ie: system crash during delivery is the only time it would matter to me or are there other times? 2. Is my plan bad? Do I need to modify it to stay in line with TMDA's planned implementation of pending as Maildir? (I take it that such a feature would come out in 1.1 and eventually make it into 1.2?) 3. Do I need FAM compiled into courier-imap? I haven't played with FAM, so I thought I would ask. And one statement: I looked at the python docs and it doesn't look like there are maildir functions in python 2.2 or 2.3 (I could be wrong, its the first time I've looked at python docs) so the added maildir support would require writing something. ---slightly ot--- How much overhead is there in this FAM thing? Not that I care much practically (six users on a dual pIV 3ghz, SAN attach), but more curious about its performance. ---slightly ot--- Thanks! -- adam _____________________________________________ tmda-users mailing list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://tmda.net/lists/listinfo/tmda-users
