Project Notes
This plugin is written in python and does two things each time it runs : 1 - Sends an email containing an id to a specified address, and stores the id to a specified file. 2 - Checks a specified pop3 account to see if the previous message was received. Usage : --relay --popserver --popuser --poppassword --to --from --idfile

simple, nice but likes Warning (null)
by vasyl, April 30, 2011
Nice simple checker but it likes to issue Warnings with (null) returned

The solution is to use own idfile for each instance or do "sed -i 's/idfile = a/idfile = a + popserver" on the file

The pluging is working great. I added ssl support, fixed the missing subject and date in the mail header and put some text to the body to get the mail through spamassassin. :)
