[Savannah-help-public] [sr #106712] accepting follow-ups by email

[Federico Gimenez Nieto]

Follow-up Comment #12, sr #106712 (project administration):

Karl, i have no idea of how the cgi call could be done to perform the instant
handling of messages. The only solution that comes to my mind is the deferred
message handling mentioned earlier, a php script running on the website every
x minutes that retrieves the messages (perhaps using a protocol more secure
than plain pop3) and makes the self post with the extracted data. In my
opinion, one of the advantages of this approach is that it is flexible enough
to allow to be used in more installations than savannah itself: you could
install the application in your site and configure it to have one external
email account for receiving the follow-up emails, given the access information
you wouldn't have to make any modifications on the mail server for this to
work. Of course it would require to slightly modify the configuration script.

Do you think that the instant handling of messages is a mandatory feature?
