I'm not really looking for a way of implementing this now. What I'm trying to say is that I think there would be a need for a closer intergration of mail and web and zope is a perfect candidate. At the moment email processing is not a cross platform buisness. Procmail I think can do smart things with email on unix. On NT you might have to write some scripts into the bowels of an exchange server. In either case you might want to access the same kinds of user info or other databases to process the mail. Wouldn't it be nice if you can just email a web page and get a response. Wouldn't it be nice if this was enabled by simply installing a Zope product. My point is that I don't want to be screwing with .forward files and procmail etc. I want to specify that email to this address gets sent to this zope object. In its simplest form you could have a mapping to a whole site such that sending a mail to Download/Contrib@zope.org gets me that page sent back to me.
When using sendmail, the only way to achieve this is by using '| zope_proc' either in .forward or in aliases - you can't do it using _only_ zope. imho, having zope _replace_ sendmail is an overkill. ----- Hannu
