Run external program on new mail

[Pacific White]

Good afternoon Zimbra Community,

this would be my first post here.

My name is Manuel, I have 12 years of on and off programming experience in various environments. My current job in customer service for a entertainment rental company requires the occasional hack to the software we work on to get the job done better. Keeps me entertained.
On a scale of 1 to 10 for programming skills I would probably give myself a 3.5, maybe a 4 on a good day. Just to give you an idea of who you are dealing with.

Here is my challenge:

Upon arrival of email to a specific mailbox I need to run a program to connect to a database, make some changes, send some confirmation emails, etc.
I can easily accommodate all that in a php script, which would tie in nicely with some other webbased tools we are deploying.
What I thus need is to be able to run a wget and pass the message, subject, sender, etc as parameters to the url.
It has been a long time, but I would swear that I could easily realize that many years ago on a qmail server.
Unfortunately I could not find any evidence of this being possible in zimbra.

Any pointers are much appreciated.

Thanks everybody.
Manuel

You could implement com.zimbra.cs.lmtpserver.LmtpCallback interface which has a method afterDelivery(), and register the implementation with com.zimbra.cs.lmtpserver.ZimbraLmtpBackend.

See Extending Zimbra with Server Extensions » Zimbra :: Blog for how you can deploy your custom code on a Zimbra server.

Is there a list for Zimbra's available extension points?

[vmahajan]

A few extensions points have been mentioned in the blog post but there isn't a list of all officially supported extension points as of now.
