blosxom.email

Blosxom.email is a program which take an email in a specified format and saves it in a directory in the filesystem. The subject of the message should be of the form

Subject: blogdir: blog title goes here

the file will be created in the $basedir/blogdir with The serial number set. And the title of the blog entry will be the subject after the ':'

You can pick up the entire archive for version v0.03. This contains all of the files mentioned on this page.

Once you have the tar file, you will need to extract and build it. Do something like the following:

	cd
	mkdir blosxom.email
	tar xvfz blosxom.email-0.03.tar.gz
	cd blosxom.email-0.03
	Edit the variables in blosxom.email 

	You will want an appropriate alias in your alias file:
	     blosxomtest:    "|/home/blosx/blosxom.email \
				--basedir=/var/blosxom/blog-base \
				--userfile=/var/blosxom/.names"
	 You may need an entry in /etc/smrsh that is a link from
	 this program to whereever it really is installed.

	 you will also want to run newaliases


	 The "basedir" is the directory (presumably within your web space)
	 where the files will be stored.  Note that the permissions of this
	 must be such that the mail user (often mail or daemon) can write
	 to this directory.
