pymime - A MIME formatter in python

Installation & Configuration

• Simply run python setup.py install to install the necessary files.
• Look at the default configuration files in /etc/pymime/, copy them from *.conf.default to *.conf and change them to your liking.
• Make sure that the server (pymimed) has write access to the logfile and the pidfile.
• Run the server: pymimed start[|stop|restart].
• The client by default accepts mails from STDIN and writes them to STDOUT: cat test.eml | pymimec > parsed.eml

Configuring the Webinterface

• Copy the integration/django_attachmentstore directory to a destination of your liking.
• cd destination/django_attachmentstore
• Edit the file settings.py: nano settings.py
• Insert your name and email in the ADMINS-tuple
• Enter your database settings in DATABASES["default"]
• Change the SECRET_KEY.
• Install the database: python manage.py syncdb
• Run the development server: python manage.py runserver <PORT>
• Configure the attachmentservice to use the django backend:
• Use the default configuration as starting point: cd /etc/pymime; cp plugin_attachmentservice.conf.default plugin_attachmentservice.default
• Edit the configuration: nano plugin_attachmentservice.default
• Set store-function=pymime.integration.django_store
• Set store-function-options={"project-path": "<path to django_attachmentstore>"}
• Set action=store in your policies.
• To deploy the Webinterface for production, set DEBUG=False in settings.py, and read https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/deployment/
