acs_mail_lite::load_mails (public, deprecated)

 acs_mail_lite::load_mails -queue_dir queue_dir

Defined in packages/acs-mail-lite/tcl/legacy-inbound-procs.tcl

Deprecated. Invoking this procedure generates a warning.

Scans for incoming email. The function requires incoming emails that comply to the following syntax rule:

        [<SitePrefix>][-]<ReplyPrefix>-Whatever@<BounceDomain>

        [] = optional
        <> = Package Parameters
        

If no SitePrefix is set we assume that there is only one OpenACS installation. Otherwise only messages are dealt with which contain a SitePrefix. ReplyPrefixes are provided by packages that implement the callback acs_mail_lite::incoming_email and provide a package parameter called ReplyPrefix. Only implementations are considered where the implementation name is equal to the package key of the package. Also we only deal with messages that contain a valid and registered ReplyPrefix. These prefixes are automatically set in the acs_mail_lite_prefixes table.

Switches:

-queue_dir (required)

Options:

-queue_dir

The location of the qmail mail (BounceMailDir) queue in the file-system i.e. /home/service0/mail.
