ANN: mail-system-patches updated

 [1/9] from: ingo:h-o-h at: 24-Mar-2003 13:42


Hi Rebols, I have updated my patches for the Rebol mail subsystem to /Core 2.5.5. What do I win compared to standard Rebol? - send ["Ingo" [mail--no-spam--please]] "Message" -> Real name handling (in import-email, too) - mail is sent to all addresses on the command-line and in the header-obj, if the latter is present - intelligent handling of to/cc - net-utils/export accepts multiple headers with the same name - import-email allows /multiple - creates multiline headers with a leading tab - understands multiline headers even without - imports email from an mbox mail-spool (First line = "From ...") What do I lose? - It's not looking as elegant as the original. - Maybe it's not yet as stable. And Where do I get it? http://www.h-o-h.org/mail-patches-255.r Some testing would be greatly appreciated. Ingo

Hi Ingo, I haven't tested it yet ... but have you looked at the patch that Volker did for import-mail that I posted to the bug fixes group on AltME? And are you also flagging an error when the email header is malformed? eg. when no From: address. My preference would be to set the from: field to none and just carry on as happens now. -- Graham Chiu http://www.compkarori.com/cerebrus

Ingo, I ran it against a tiny selection (200) of my spam. Most of the errors were in 'parse-header-date, but I found one in 'parse-mail-list where the relevant line is: To: Attn Buyers/ Office Managers<> ** Script Error: trim expected series argument of type: series port ** Where: parse-mail-list ** Near: append addr-list to-email trim addr When I get a chance I'll run it against my 7000 spam to see if any other errors arise. -- Graham Chiu http://www.compkarori.com/cerebrus/

Thanks Graham, so far I haven't had a look at Volkers code just tried to port my own patches, but I'll have a look into. On the bright side, I found the error instantly. I just assumed that an email address would always be given. Kind regards, Ingo P.S. will upload my newest version now

Ingo, I ran your latest version against my spam database of 8794 messages ( a likely source of malformed email), and only came across 484 errors on import-email ..all due to 'parse-header-date errrors and unrelated to your patches. So, looks good. -- Graham Chiu http://www.compkarori.com/cgi-local/vanilla.r

Hi Dave, Yes, I'm aware of the problems which started up once I installed Vanilla.r This is because the forum software cookie handling routine assumed that the browser client would only ever send one cookie back to it, and now there are two cookies. I thought I had fixed it .. .and it seems now. But maybe now I have ... try logging on here: http://www.compkarori.com/cerebrus/Forums/index.shtml and perhaps emailing me if it still doesn't work. -- Graham Chiu http://www.compkarori.com/cerebrus

Re: ANN: mail-system-patches updated


Thanks Graham, nice to know ... it always worked for me, so I assumed it should be alright, but others always find errors easier. Will have a look into 'parse-header-date, maybe I can add it to my patch. Kind regards, Ingo Graham Chiu wrote:
