Dear all,
i’d like to share my few ideas to improve mlmmj.
1) LMTP support (for cluster setup)
mlmmj should be able to run as a LMTP server and accept emails sent
from (LAN) network. This should be useful for running mlmmj in a cluster
setup: Run mlmmj on the same server as the LDA/LMTP servers, and store
mailing list data (and mailboxes) on remote/shared storage.
With current mlmmj document, we can only run mlmmj on MTA server
(for example, mlmmj is called by Postfix as a piped program which cannot
be a script on another server). Run mlmmj as LMTP server should fix this.
2) Hook support to interactive SQL/LDAP/... database.
Many sysadmins setup mail servers with virtual mail accounts stored in
SQL/LDAP databases, below 2 ideas should be very helpful to make mlmmj
working very well with existing mail servers with any SQL table structure
or LDAP schema.
- `mlmmj-make-ml`: Add a hook to run external command/script, so that sysadmin
can add mailing list account in SQL/LDAP/... database.
For example, after `mlmmj-make-ml` finishes its own tasks, executes script
`/etc/mlmmj/hook-make-ml`, and sysadmin can use this script to sync mailing
list accounts to SQL/LDAP.
- `mlmmj-sub` and `mlmmj-unsub`: Add a hook to run external command/script, so
that sysadmin can add or remove the mailing list member in the SQL/LDAP/…
databases.
data. For example, storing mailing list accounts in SQL db, and sync list
members.
For example, after `mlmmj-sub` finishes its own tasks, executes script
`/etc/mlmmj/hook-sub`, and sysadmin can use this script to sync new mailing
list members to SQL/LDAP.
- `mlmmj-bounce`: Add a hook to run external command/script to handle
non-existing/invalid member email addresses.
