Email to Web for event log?
|
|
| dubing@gmail.com 2006-08-28, 1:43 pm |
| Hello,
We want our admins (both windows and unix) to be able to contribute to
the event log and all the admins should be able to see the log. One
idea I like is admins email about what has been done to some specific
email address (e.g. info@dept.some.edu), and the message will be posted
on the web as event log automatically. Maybe I need to write a
'some-home-made-script' on the mail server to publish the message on
the web when the message is sent to info@dept.some.edu.
info: "|/usr/local/bin/some-home-made-script"
Anybody has a working example script and would like to share? Any
other better ideas? Thanks in advance.

Hypermail comes to mind.

Thanks, Tim. I've never thought of taking advantage of mailing list to
manage event logs. A quick look doesn't tell me how Hypermail is
different from other mailing list management software. We use mailman
already. What I want is simpler and I want the message to be displayed
right up in the front as shown below rather than being linked to as
mailing list archives do.

I've added www.some.com as a virtual host to httpd.conf file on
www.dept.some.edu.

Hypermail is more of a list post-processor, in my experience.
We've used it for $LONGTIME here, and it does the job pretty well. Low
volume lists get updated in real time; high-volume ones get updated
nightly.
It sounds like what you really want is a blog of some sort. I
don't have any experience installing any of them; those few times that
I've done something similar to what you're looking for, I've done it
through a (stock) Livejournal community with restricted access. It wasn't
meant to be very robust... but if I was looking for something more, I'd
probably look to set up the same source code on our local systems.
