Script To Connect To Delete Contents Of A POP3 Mailbox
I have written a PERL script that I can run through bash, that will take in a mail server address, username and a password, login and then delete all of the mail contained within the user's mailbox.
Now I've battled to create a web interface so that my non-linux colleages can use easily wherever they happen to be, but just cannot get to work.
So, I decided it would be easier to use PHP to create the script and use $_POST to grab the address, username and password from a form and then process the connection/deletion.

Log Into A POP3 Mailbox And Delete The Messages.
I am trying to make a simple web tool that will log into a POP3 mailbox and delete the messages all at once. I have came up with this and if the Login information is correct it does delete the mail,but if the login info is incorrect you do not know until after you try to login to the mailbox again via telnet or anything like that and notice that the mail is still there. Does anyone have any idea how I could make this script so it will tell us that the information is incorrect? Any help would be appreciated. <? $host = $_POST['address']; $user = $_POST['username']; $pass = $_POST['password']; ################################################## ##################### # End Configuration # ################################################## ##################### #Until I rewrite my scripts, this will suffice for bg-compatibility; if(phpversion() >= "4.2.0"){ extract($_POST); extract($_SERVER); extract($_ENV); } #Format output for console or for web? $nl = ((isset($REMOTE_ADDR)) ? "<br>" : ""); if(!$sock=fsockopen($host, 110, $err, $errno, 10)) die("Couldn't connect to the POP server$nl"); fputs($sock, "USER $user"); $buf = fgets($sock, 1024); if($buf[0] != '+') die("POP server didn't like USER $user$nl"); fputs($sock, "PASS $pass "); $buf = fgets($sock, 1024); if($buf[0] != '+') die("POP server didn't like PASS$nl"); fputs($sock, "STAT"); $buf = fgets($sock, 1024); fputs($sock, "STAT"); $buf2 = fgets($sock, 1024); list($stat, $num, $size) = split(' ', $buf2, 3); echo "Mailbox has $num messages$nl"; for($i=1; $i<=$num; $i++){ $command = "DELE $i"; echo "Deleting message $i with DELE $i$nl"; fputs($sock, $command); $buf = fgets($sock, 1024); if($buf[0] != '+') die("POP server didn't like DELE $i: ($buf)$nl"); } fputs($sock, "QUIT"); $buf = fgets($sock, 1024); fclose($sock); ?>

Access To A POP3 Mailbox
I am in preliminary design of a contact management program. The user would like to use his current mail server (POP3 - remote). I have done some reading on the IMAP functions but am unclear if the following is possible: Using the IMAP functions can I write a PHP script to: scan the subject lines of all mail in the mailbox ? pop just certain messages from the inbox ? delete those messages from the inbox ? all without disturbing the other messages in his inbox that are downloaded to his usual email client (Thunderbird).

Connect To Pop3 Mail Server
I have a piece of code that connects to a mail server running on the same machine. It all works fine but it just takes an age to connect to the mail server, like 30 seconds or so. Looking at the log for the mail server, I noticed the following lines at the beginning of each request: [Date / Time] CAPA [Date / Time] -ERR Unknown Command [Date / Time] AUTH [Date / Time] -ERR Unknown Command Could this be the reason that it takes so long to connect to the mail server? And if so is it possible to suppress certain commands sent to the server if they are not required? The PHP code I use to connect is simply: $mbox = imap_open ("{mailserver:110/pop3}INBOX", "username", "password"); And then imap_close($mbox); to clean up.

How Can I Create A Postfix Mailbox
I have postfix running and working as it should. I can add, remove and administer mailboxes and aliases using postfixadmin. All well there too. Now, I want to be able to add mailboxes and aliases using my own php-code. Therefore I studied the postfixadmin code (which is working), and it looked like the only thing needed was entries in the postfix database. Nevertheless, I must be missing something. My code adds the appropriate entries for the mailbox and alias, yet I can't log in and get an imap error. I also thought postfix added the appropriate directories automatically for the new mailboxes. What am I missing?

Adding LDAP Users WITH Mailbox-enabled
I've have been racking my brain for some time now on why all my AD users created via my php interface did not have any exchange mailbox attributes associated to them. I have built an application that uses the ldap extention in PHP for managing our user base withing our organization. Because our organization uses Exchange, it would be nice if i were able to create the mailbox for any new user that is created via my application... This is the source of my conundrum... I was wondering if there was anyone out there who has had experience in creating AD users via PHP but more importantly also created the exchange user object. I have spent most of today searching the web for examples and all i have found are vb scripts that use the Collaboration Data Objects for Exchange Management (CDOEXM). Does this mean that i will need to use the PHP ldap functions for AD user creation, and then switch to COM functions for adding the user to exchange?

Pop3 Over Sockets
on a php page I want to display the content of a POP3 mailbox and to show the following informations: current number, content-length, sender, subject // open the socket $socketPOP = fsockopen($pop, 110); fgets($socketPOP); fputs($socketPOP, "USER myName"); fgets($socketPOP); fputs($socketPOP, "PASS myPassword"); fgets($socketPOP); // load list fputs($socketPOP, "LIST"); Now I read the lines with $zeile = fgets($socketPOP); and get from it the current numbers and the content lengths. Then I send for every mail: fputs($socketPOP, "RETR $currentNumber"); and parse the returnd lines for the strings "From:" and "Subject:". My problem is, that the whole mail is sended and I have to read ALL data from the socket, before I can get the data from the next mail. If I have lots of large mails, I create with this code very much traffic. How can I avoid this unnecessary traffic?

Pop3 Instead Of IMAP For This?
We want to make a page called 'mail.php' which will check 5 mailboxes. Our mail server uses POP3, not IMAP and we want this page to return a syntax like this: mailbox@domain.com: 15 messages, 2 new mailbox2@domain.com: 23 messages, 3 new The IMAP script we had was: $mbox = imap_open("{mail.domain.com}", "mailbox1@domain.com", "password", OP_HALFOPEN) or die("can't connect: " . imap_last_error()); $status = imap_status($mbox, "{mail.domain.com}INBOX", SA_ALL); if ($status) { echo "Messages: " . $status->messages . "<br />"; echo "Recent: " . $status->recent . "<br />"; echo "Unseen: " . $status->unseen . "<br />"; echo "UIDnext: " . $status->uidnext . "<br />"; echo "UIDvalidity:" . $status->uidvalidity . "<br />"; } else { echo "imap_status failed: " . imap_last_error() . ""; } imap_close($mbox); However, our mail server isn't IMAP. Is it possible for PHP to do this with POP3 instead, what would I need to use?

Pop3 - Imap_open Sometimes Works
I have been using the same script for almost a year to check pop3 mails for user accounts on my server. It hasnt worked well since I first wrote it. Sometimes it connects and gets the mails fine but a lot of times it just hangs. It doesnt timeout or anything..it just hangs and the page keeps trying to load. Actually, if I want to use my site anymore, I have to restart the browser. here is the code i use to connect: $mbox_open = "{" . $server . ":110/pop3}INBOX"; $mbox = imap_open($mbox_open, $user, $password); ...where $server = mail.mysite.com My server is running php4. Is there a better/faster way to connect? If nothing else is there a way I can set it to timeout at least and retry?

Access Pop3 Attachments
If there is an easier way then please tell me. I've tried using the imap_open function to access the mailbox specifying port 110 instead of 143, but no dice. So I've been relegated to using fsockopen and sending telnet commands. I can use all the basic commands and retrieve individual messages, but the caveat is that I need to be able to open WAV files that are attached to these emails. I'm not having any luck with this. If I could just somehow store the wav file somewhere on the server in a tmp folder or something that would work great. For full disclosure, yes I am connecting to a remote pop3 server, if it was on the same host i imagine that would make this somewhat easier.
