[ANNOUNCE] ssoma - some sort of mail archiver (using git)

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



ssoma is a git-based mail archiver and transport.  Email is injected via
ssoma-mda(1) (MDA: mail delivery agent) on a server and may be shared
(via git) and extracted to mbox, Maildir, or IMAP via ssoma(1).  ssoma
exists primarily as the mechanism (not policy) for public-inbox but may
easily be used for other projects.

Readers of public-inbox instances may install ssoma to extract messages
into their favorite mail client for reading.

See http://public-inbox.org/ for more information on how ssoma is used.

Source code: git clone git://80x24.org/ssoma
WWW: http://ssoma.public-inbox.org/
Installation info: http://ssoma.public-inbox.org/INSTALL.html
Discussion: meta@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (no subscription required[1])

You may subscribe to meta@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx via ssoma:
LISTNAME is a name of your choosing:

    URL=git://public-inbox.org/meta
    LISTNAME=public-inbox

    # to initialize a maildir (this may be a new or existing maildir,
    # ssoma will not touch existing messages)
    # If you prefer mbox, use mbox:/path/to/mbox as the last argument
    ssoma add $LISTNAME $URL maildir:/path/to/maildir

    # read with your favorite MUA (only using mutt as an example)
    mutt -f /path/to/maildir # (or /path/to/mbox)

    # to keep your mbox or maildir up-to-date, periodically run the following:
    ssoma sync $LISTNAME

    # your MUA may modify and delete messages from the maildir or mbox,
    # this does not affect ssoma functionality at all

    # to sync all your ssoma subscriptions
    ssoma sync

    # You may wish to sync in your cronjob
    ssoma sync --cron

If you prefer web browsers, you may also read the list at:
http://public-inbox.org/meta/ without installing ssoma
Or use an Atom feed reader: http://public-inbox.org/meta/atom.xml

[1] - or possible at this point:  public-inbox is an archives first,
      pull-based approach to mailing lists.  Anybody may also run a
      push service on top of it, though.

Mail repository format
----------------------
If you are uncomfortable running code in ssoma for any reason and
would rather read directly from the git repository, the following
document describes it:

Thanks for reading this far!
