I'm trying to enable some basic commands via email. Currently I have shared hosting accounts with shell access at dreamhost and site5. I usually use php/drupal, but am open to other options.

Currently, I get the atom feed and then get as many emails as the feed has with the OpenPOP client (starting from the first).

Hello, I am building a site in which we are making moderate use of email templates. As in, HTML templates which we pass tokens into like {UserName}, {Email}, {NameFirst}, etc. I am struggling with where to store these, as far as best practice goes. I'll first show the approach I took, and I'd be really excited to hear some expert persp...

I am trying to send non-english text over mail. The non-english text is on the "from" field of the mail (the text that appears beside the email address). In the recipient's mailbox, the non-english text is seen as a series of question marks. What could be wrong? Previously, I was having problems with printing non-english text from a sim...
Hi all, I have a simple email sender for user account activation. Depending on which email address I use, I get significantly different response times: University email - 1 minute, Gmail - 3-4 hours, Yahoo - 1 or 2 days -- which seems bizarre. Has anyone else seen this phenomenon? EDIT: There weren't many responses (even for a bo...
I need my application to send and receive emails on certain events. I think I would like to use a mail server also to implement an in-application mailing ability, like the ability to send/receive/delete messages in applications like linkedin. What would be a good tool, a PHP mailing class, the imap extension, or are they not covering the...

But the problem is, when I receive some emails with some different formating, like from iPhone or from Blackberry, my parsing fails. I'm parsing Java MIMEMessage by myself. Here I...
I have an application hosted on google app engine that sends mail to people under certain conditions. The mail is sent on my behalf. Earlier, each time a mail was sent, I would find the sent mail on my "Sent Items" folder in gmail. However, this does not appear to be happening consistently. I found that, a mail was sent yesterday and was...
I need to implement an in-application message-box system (like any forum/social network has). Number of users is in the tens of thousands and up. I am thinking to do it using an actual email server and write a client for it inside the application (or just pick an open source client and adjust it to appear like a private messages system)....
What's the best way to send quick one-liner e-mails to an administrative address in Rails? I am using the Rails Logger to keep track of nasty problems in my application.

Hey guys! I want to build a NSTokenField that works just like the recipient field in Mail.app. I know how to search the address book for names and emails. These are probably really bad noob questions, sorry for that. How can I reformat my search results array to get items in the format "Name <email>" (like the auto completion results i...
I've recently setup my Ubuntu web server with exim4 so my PHP website applications can send email such as "thank you" and "confirmation" notices. I've got it setup and working such that I can send email to gmail, Yahoo! and my work address. However, my work email gets caught up in our spam filter. I'm new to setting up mail servers so...
My company has a website built with PHP. We use the built-in PHP email functionality to send thousands of emails to subscribers on a daily basis. This is a terrible idea. It chokes out our server, and takes hours to complete the whole batch. Now I've looked at mass mailing services like MailChimp (which would replace our current system...
Hi, We've created the email validation part of our site. We built the site using CakePHP BTW. The problem is that it doesn't work when we click on the link in the email. The email is sent as plain text. A weird thing is that when we paste the link on the address bar, it works. Also when clicking on the link using Gmail and desktop em...
