Forum .LRN Q&A: Re: email client

Actually, I was thinking more of an MUA. I am still a fan of sendmail as the MTA.

Sendmail supports, postgresql, ldap, and pam, and does quite handily what I need it to do. I was thinking of possibly using tcl / openacs scripts to process the mail instead of using procmail. What would REALLY be cool is to build an openACS app to configure sendmail. Maybe just put a wrapper around the M4 files?

So, there is a mail client for dotLRN or openACS? It didn't look like that was "acs-mail-lite"?

Thanks for the input,

Here you go:

https://openacs.org/doc/current/webmail/

Caveat emptor: it is likely VERY stale (do not know of anyone using it right now). It is an Arsdigita package so it is likely that it needs some serious petting to get up and running.

IIRC Nima tried to get it to work a while back, so he might be able to comment.

Summary: it is not (yet) part of .LRN (it needs a rich uncle or someone with some serious cahones to clean it up... you sticking around after what I would call a suboptimal install experience shows that you might have the latter so you might want to take a look at it).
