infrae.maildrophost 1.0

infrae.maildrophost

infrae.maildrophost is used to download and install MaildropHost for Zope, and configure a maildrophost server using the same configuration than the Zope product.

Example in buildout:

[buildout]
parts =
    maildrophost
    instance

[maildrophost]
recipe = infrae.maildrophost
smtp_host = localhost
smtp_port = 25
url = http://www.dataflake.org/software/maildrophost/maildrophost_1.20/MaildropHost-1.20.tgz

[instance]
...
products =
     ...
     ${maildrophost:location}
     ...
...

This will install MaildropHost, create configuration files for the daemon, and put a start/stop script in the bin directory of the buildout tree.

Spool and PID files are put by default in the var/maildrop directory, so data is preserved when update (if there is any data). This setting can be overrided with the mail-dir option.

You can use the target option to specify a different folder to install the product, for instance if you already have a part called dist-products for your Zope products:

target = ${dist-products:location}

As well, you can use login and password to define an authentication against the SMTP server.

poll_interval must be an integer which define the interval in seconds between two check for new mail in the spool directory. Default is 120 seconds.
