Okay, issues:
1) The innocuous open('/tmp/out1','w').write(...)
in EmailAdapter.py is a problem if you check the
script as one user (root) and run mail as another
(mail), since mail can't overwrite it. For some
reason I couldn't get any error messages that told
me this, I just figured it out finally.
2) EmailAdapter.py seems to require something like:
if __name__ == '__main__':
main("/usr/local/src/Webware/WebKit")
to run. In my case, I just untarred EmailKit as
'/usr/local/src/Webware/EmailKit'.
3) sendmail requires a link from /etc/smrsh to the
Python program being run. In my case, I did:
cd /etc/smrsh
ln usr/local/src/Webware/EmailKit/EmailAdaptor.py
EmailAdaptor.py of course needs to be executable by
the mail program - something like:
chown mail.mail EmailAdaptor.py
chmod u+x EmailAdaptor.py
The line in /etc/alias would then look something like:
xmail: "|/usr/local/src/Webware/EmailKit/EmailAdaptor.py /Emax/EForward
where Emax is a context I threw into WebKit/Configs/Application.config
pointing to Webware/EmailKit/Examples, and EForward.py is my actual
forwarding script.
I tested sendmail with "mail -v xmail" - if the EmailAdaptor.py
script failed for any reason, sendmail would just give a
"service not available" error and chuck it into dead.letter.
But just exiting with sys.exit() before any errors occur gives
it a normal delivery message, so you can just push back the
exit statement to debug.
4) The EmailServlet class has an error:
def responseToEmail(self):
raise SubclassResponsibilityError
should be:
def respondToEmail(self):
raise SubclassResponsibilityError
though since the subclass (EmailForward.py) creates
a "respondToEmail" method, it doesn't appear to have
an effect.
5) I had to adjust the path in EForward.py to
find the EmailServlet class, in this case:
sys.path.insert(1,"..")
6) I rewrote the Email handler to be:
def respondToEmail(self):
try:
addr_to = ['bill']
addr_from = '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'
msg="To: %s\nFrom: %s\n\n%s\n\n" %
(addr_to[0],addr_from,self.fullEmail())
open('/tmp/respondtoEmail','w').write(msg)
myserver = smtplib.SMTP('localhost')
myserver.sendmail(addr_from,addr_to, msg)
myserver.quit()
except Exception,e:
open('/tmp/responseError','w').write("Error: %s" % (e))
The "To field here is a list (it works fine as a string),
and for my sendmail configuration, a From: without a domainname
(say: "unknown" instead of "unknown@localhost") is rejected,
which shows up in /var/log/maillog.
7) It also made it clearer for me to override the respond methods
from HTTPServlet and others in superclasses to find out what was
happening at earlier stages in the servlet handshaking.
