Hi list,

This mail is intended to serve as a mini-guide on how to set-up the Direct
Mail plugin working with the mail scheduler and the returned mail
statistics.

I've found this way to be less MTA dependant than others, so it could be
used with almost any mail server with no changes.

The work is done by 2 php scripts found in typo3/ext/direct_mail/mod/
directory:

- "dmailerd.phpcron", runs the mail queue
- "returnmail.phpsh", process returned mails via stdin

For the mail scheduler, we have to run the mail queue every x time, so we
can set up a line on our /etc/crontab as follows:

-- Begin of /etc/crontab editing ---

# typo3 dmailers
0-59/1 * * * * apache
/home/httpd/vhosts/mydomain.com/httpdocs/typo3/ext/direct_mail/mod/dmailerd.
phpcron

-- End of /etc/crontab editing ---

We have just set up the mail queue for "mydomain.com" running through user
"apache" once a minute.

That was easy. The return mail script is a bit more complicated.

We have to forward all the returned messages to the script's stdin, so we
are going to use fetchmail. You should have it installed before proceeding.

In our user home directory (can be root) create a file named ".fetchmailrc"
and edit it as follows:

-- Begin of $/.fetchmailrc editing --

poll mydomain.com proto pop3 timeout 30
  user "mypopuser" pass "mypasswd" nokeep mda
"/home/httpd/vhosts/mydomain.com/httpdocs/typo3/ext/direct_mail/mod/returnma
il.phpsh"

-- End of $/.fetchmailrc editing --

After that, we can run fetchmail in daemon mode by the following command:

fetchmail -d 300 -syslog

It will poll the pop3 mailbox every 5 minutes, and redirect every message it
has to our script.

And that's all, folks! For comments please write to the mailing list

Have a nice Typo3 experience!
