1. Incoming mail goes to a pipe, which is a program that processes the message.

Use curl or another HTTP client to POST the message to a Zope script. This seems to be the "idiomatic" way, because authentication occurs at the request level in the publisher.

zope is tickled via http: with the name of the file/pipe, and processes it from there.

Don't bother with named pipes; just pass the data with a POST. HTH, a. -- Adrian van den Dries adriand@flow.com.au Development team www.dev.flow.com.au FLOW Communications Pty. Ltd. www.flow.com.au
