Calling procmail script from another procmail script

Axel

Is this possible and how would I do it ?

sean

Axel I think the answer is "not possible" but can you give me an example of exactly what you're trying to do?

Axel

I'd like to use the same filter for some of my mail boxes, or at least be able to edit the filters in a more convenient way. Ideally I'd just edit one file that is then applied differently, as needed, to each mail box. This is all to reduce spam.

sean

Axel ok, that's not possible on our setup, at least not directly on the mail server or in the dashboard UI.

What you can do instead is manage your procmail rules locally and deploy them with the dashboard API via the mailuser/update endpoint.

Axel

sean I'd like to call the mailuser/retrieve and /update endpoints from a Thunderbird extension using fetch(). The OPTIONS preflight fails because no Access-Control-Allow-Origin / Allow-Headers for Authorization is returned. Can you add CORS support for these endpoints (e.g., Allow-Origin: *, Allow-Headers: Authorization)?

Axel

Is it possible to edit/add procmail rules from a RoundCube plugin ?

nick

Axel Probably not, unless the plugin can access the Opalstack API somehow.

sean

Axel I've opened an internal ticket re the CORS headers and will report back here if we're able to implement them.

Axel

sean Is there any ETA, should I wait for these CORS headers to be implemented ?

nick

Axel No ETA at this time, but I did bump the internal ticket. We will certainly confirm with you here when it is addressed. Thanks for your patience.

Axel

nick How is the priority of this ticket looking ?

sean

Axel no priority has been assigned. We'll follow up here if the feature you've requested is implemented.

If you're in a jam, you could build a small web app to make the API requests you need, configured to include whatever headers you need, and then point your extension at your own app instead of directly at the API.

Axel

For anyone here in this community, I've now got a plugin for Thunderbird working via the Opalstack API using a proxy as suggested by @sean, for now just to block a sender, but will probably add more anti-spam features.
