mail2script

Five days without a new feature ... something's wrong ... Wait, here is the feature of the day, code name "mail2script":

It allows you to specify a script name as a target for an e-mail address. To do so just enter the absolute path of the script in the "targets" field. You can also put some parameters after the path.

When an e-mail is sent to the e-mail address, your script will be executed and the e-mail data will be passed on stdin.

Simple and powerful, just the way we like it :)

Remi.

Do you guys plan on installing the security updates to Rails(1.2.3) and Wordpress(2.1.3)?

@Aaron: This is a bit off topic for this blog post but yes we're aiming to have automated installers for those new versions available shortly.

I have a project coming up that needs this feature. Earlier today I was pondering how to do it, and then here it is. Thanks Remi the mind-reader! :)



That is so great ! Really what I need... every day I discover webfaction a little more, every day I am charmed. You guys rock. With that it is easy to check if an email is OK or if the server returned it.
