how to install MailArc ?
Hi



can someone explain me what to do to install the MailArc plugin.

as i don t have access to the sendmail aliases files, i must follow this instruction :

"If you do not have the level of control to make changes to the "aliases" file or are under a different system, the "archive.pl" script runs as a mail pipe accepting emails from STDIN and places emails into the forum indicated by the --forum=id value. Contact your system administrator for the best option. "

and then



"You may use MailArc to pull out all emails from a POP3 account and archive them into your GForum. The command below should be run directly from your command line or should be set up as a cron job:

archive.pl --forum=x --pop-host=your_pop_host --pop-user=your_pop_user --pop-pass=your_pop_pass
"


>>> how should i 'run from my command line', what is it ?

>>> should i copy the code above in a specific file ? in archive.pl ?




Thanks if you can help

I've got this working. You have to do this from a Linux command line...in FileMan or by Telneting in to your site. I haven't got the cron file working quite yet, but script works great from the command line. Can anyone help me with the CRON/CRONTAB function in Linux?

Thanks!

I actually figured out my problem with the cron/crontab....but I do have another!

A variation on the above, I would like MailArc to replace the FROM email address to a standard username like 'Listserv' during the import/parsing stage. Can this be done? I think I can replace it in a template, but the accounts will still be built, etc.

Any expert opinion?
