PHP 4.0 Bug #7261 Updated: imap_open() mailboxes via regular file access

ID: 7261 Updated by: chagenbu Reported By: joel.jacobson@mobigym.se Status: Closed Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Assigned To: Comments: Have you tried it? It works... Previous Comments: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2000-10-16 19:30:33] joel.jacobson@mobigym.se I think it would be nice if you could open a mailbox by specify the file and read the data from the file (usually /var/spool/mail/[username]) directly. That way I could write an automatic alert script that send a SMS when a user has new mail waiting in the inbox, WITHOUT having to store all passwords in plaintext to be able to access the mailboxes. (This is, of course, only possible when the PHP script is run a as shell-script as root) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Full Bug description available at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=7261
