NAME

       mbot --	     Mail handling robot

SYNOPSIS

       mbot [-h]  [-c configuration file]

Description
       mbot  is  a generic purpose mail robot, written in python. The first goal while writting this piece of software was to provide some kind of
       web access (http) to people limited on mail (smtp).

       So mbot will receive some mail and make some action for you, then send you back a reply mail. The actions mbot will take are to be  defined
       in its configuration file (see mbot.conf(5)) and depends on the available handlers :

       GoogleHandler
		 Used to perform some search with the well known search engine

       UrlHandler
		 This one allows to download some url and attach its content to the return mail, with the mime type properly set.

       NewsHandler
		 You  can  also send some news (with images) to mbot, it will fill your database with it. Currently supported RDBMs are PostgreSQL
		 and MySQL, so you will have to choose between PgNewsHandler and MyNewsHandler.

       PipeHandler
		 This one will make mbot call an arbitrary given command!

Options
       -h	 will print the help page.

       -c	 specifies the configuration file to use. If omitted mbot will look for it in his own directory.

Install
       To install that mail bot, just add a line in your mail alias file, often found under /etc/aliases.

       If you use the exim MTA, be sure to add the option pipe_as_creator to your configuration, in the address_pipe section.

Bugs
       There should be none... :)

NAME

       pycmail - mail sorter

SYNOPSIS

       pycmail [-d debuglevel] [-t] [-c conffile] [file1 file2 file3 ...]

DESCRIPTION

       pycmail is a mail sorter similar to procmail, written in python, using python syntax for mail delivery.

OPTIONS

       file1  file2 ...  read mails from file1 file2 ... instead of from stdin (useful for mail postprocessing)

       -d level, --debuglevel level
	      set debuglevel to level.

       -t     testing mode. No mail delivery will be done. Use in conjuction with -d

       -c conffile, --config=conffile
	      use file conffile as a user configuration file (instead of ~/.pycmailrc )

       -D define
	      add  define to the DEFINES list (this can be tested later in the .pycmailrc to modify the behaviour).  Can be repeated several times
	      to add more strings.

USAGE

       pycmail should be invoked automatically from the .forward file when mail arrives.

       Default debuglevel is 0, which means pycmail tries to deliver mail in almost foolproof way: if there is any  error  in  ~/.pycmailrc  file,
       mail will be delivered to the default mailbox (such as /var/spool/mail/USERNAME ).

       If  the	debuglevel  is 1, any error in ~/.pycmailrc file will be printed, resulting in bounced mail (but pycmail will still try to deliver
       the mail to default mailbox).

       Higher debuglevels will print more information about the actual mail processing. The bigger the debuglevel, the more  detailed  information
       is printed.

       To test your configuration, do something like this:
       formail -s pycmail -d 2 -t < your_test_mailbox_file
