FETCH Command #2

Open twitchyliquid64 opened 9 years ago

twitchyliquid64 commented 9 years ago

Arguments: sequence set message data item names or macro

Responses: untagged responses: FETCH

Result: OK - fetch completed NO - fetch error: can't fetch that data BAD - command unknown or arguments invalid

  The FETCH command retrieves data associated with a message in the
  mailbox.  The data items to be fetched can be either a single atom
  or a parenthesized list.

  Most data items, identified in the formal syntax under the
  msg-att-static rule, are static and MUST NOT change for any
  particular message.  Other data items, identified in the formal
  syntax under the msg-att-dynamic rule, MAY change, either as a
  result of a STORE command or due to external events.

       For example, if a client receives an ENVELOPE for a
       message when it already knows the envelope, it can
       safely ignore the newly transmitted envelope.

  There are three macros which specify commonly-used sets of data
  items, and can be used instead of data items.  A macro must be
  used by itself, and not in conjunction with other macros or data
  items.

In progress on the fetch branch.

In the branch lmtp (which contains all commits of fetch at moment of writing), I've created a Mailstore implementation, which does a pretty nice job.This will allow you to send e-mails to Postfix (which in return, sends it to the IMAP server), in order to test the FETCH command on real-life e-mails.

How do I use it?

Running demo/complete/main.go might be helpful. I had to hardcode a directory in line 17, to create a persistent database, so you may have to change that. It runs together with Postfix, which you can configure by doing:

In /etc/postfix/master.cf, replace: lmtp unix - - - - - lmtp with lmtp unix - - n - - lmtp (this causes LMTP to run non-chrooted, and thus have access to the socket.

In /etc/postfix/main.cf, make sure you set these variables:

# This single line can contain more entries, but should contain these:
mydestination = localhost.localdomain, localhost, example.local

mailbox_transport = lmtp:inet:localhost:61194
local_recipient_maps =
