Modifying to Send Email on Email Recieved

[redshot3]

I need Zimbra to detect an incoming email and run some code. I'm new to Zimbra and am still learning how it all fits together, but from what I can tell there are a few ways to go about this.

1. Does Zimbra already run a script when an email is received? If so I could just add a few lines.
2. Does Zimbra log incoming email? If so I could check that every so often and see what new emails have come in.
3. Could create a scheduled job to query the database for new emails since last check.

Any ideas on where to go with this?

Hello,

Zimbra does not run an external script when new email comes in.

The MTA logs incoming email in /var/log/zimbra.log, and Zimbra logs when it is written to the user(s) mailboxes in /opt/zimbra/log/mailbox.log

As far as I know, you can do that by creating a Java class which implemnts com.zimbra.cs.lmtpserver.LmtpCallback interface's afterDelivery method
and adding that to com.zimbra.cs.lmtpserver.ZimbraLmtpBackend with addCallback method.
So that every time Zimbra Store receives an email with lmtp from ZimbraMTA, the afterDelivery method is called.
Actually there are two lmtpcallback implematations already included in Zimbra Source Code.
One is com.zimbra.cs.mailbox.Notification. The other is com.zimbra.cs.mailbox.QuotaWarning. (I think both Class names tell you what those are for.)
Those must be some guide for you to do implementation.

I think I wrote about this some months ago.
Maybe I better write about this on Wiki.

Anyway, I hope it will help you.

As I mentioned at the previous comment in this thread,
I have started writing wiki about the functionality you can customize in ZimbraStore.
