Creating a PHP Script for Web Mail Posting and Notification - Page 4

Unfortunately the script was a little slow for our use: On a
Loop-Back-Ethernet of a somewhat unused Apache 2 with 512 MB Ram and 2.5
Ghz, a process took approximately 15 seconds. Appearantly it wasn't the
submitting that was slow, but rather it was waiting for the response for
that long. However, if you are ignoring the answer of the HTTP server the
script ran in less than 0.01 seconds:
<?php
if (!$discard_return)
{
while (!feof($fp)) $res.= fgets($fp, 1024);
}
?>
SETUP OF THE RECEIVER ACCOUNT
The script can be used in .forward files, simply write:
|"postinput.php http://yourdomain.com/yourscript.php"in the .forward-Datei in the home-directory of the user, which mail you wish to receive. Your email will literally post this: (to http://yourdomain.com/yourscript.php).
Your .forward does not have to stop here however:
|"postinput.php http://yourdomain.com/yourscript.php" |"postinput.php http://mydomain.com/yourscript.php" \jstaerk scipio.africanus@rome.spqrsends an incoming mail to yourdomain and mydomain, puts a copy in the mailbox of the user jstaerk and forwards one copy to Scipio Africanus.
