It's a pitty but the mail adresses are not working for me, as written in bug 63702 neither the tool nor the user addresses work for me. The question you asked got overseen by my - sorry for that. On the toolserver I have [email protected] as a mail address where every mail gets piped to ~/data/subster/mail_inbox in order to serve as an additional data source to be processed by some distinct bot later on. (As this works on the toolserver this has to work here too! ;) The "use case" is that people, organistations, institutions, etc. that do not want to share some data (like world rankings etc.) in the puplic are still able to share the data with us. > But despite (!) this, using "|jmail cat > /data/project/wikilint/mailbox" as > /data/project/wikilint/.forward.subster perfectly stores incoming mail to > [email protected] at the specified location (though I > didn't assume that it would even work as it uses a shell redirection and > [[wikitech:Nova Resource:Tools/Help#Processing email programatically]] spoke > only of "program" without any shell syntax or arguments). 'cat' is a programm that is supposed to take the standard input and pipe it then to a file (I would love to do this more directly if possible). That fits exactly in to the explanation on [[wikitech:Nova Resource:Tools/Help#Processing email programatically]]. But let's continue in bug 63702 I am very thankful for any help on this - even more as this feature DOES NOT WORK as on toolserver yet and is therefore NO APPROPRIATE REPLACMENT NOR SOLUTION TO TOOLSERVER YET. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
