Posting email to a database
Something I\’ve wanted for a while is a way to post email to a database. Ideally the event would occur during the filtering of the mail, using a combination of procmail and a progamming language. Only messages matching a specific pattern are posted. This last week I poked around with the imap functions of PHP and put together a rudimentary script to do this. A concern not addressed though, is speed. How long would it take to take the message from one system, and post it to a remote database if an entry doesn\’t match it. All on a dial-up line. That is what makes me wonder, the dial-up connection.
