Hello,
We want to trigger a script after certain actions by the user (event). This script inserts the action into message queue (e.g. Rabbit MQ) accompanied with some data. Then one or more workers picks up the action from the message queue and do something with it. The question is: how can I trigger the script from dovecot?
An action/event should at least emitted when moving an e-mail message. The amount of data in the event is unknown. My current goal I would like to at least know the sender and receiver address and the type of action (e.g. move). But I can imagine, when having an event driven application, that others might even want the complete e-mail message to be in data.
Is such an event driven system possible? When looking at current features of Dovecot: it would the same as the mail_log feature, but instead of writing to a file, one should able to write to a script or socket. Ideally the format of the event would JSON, XML or another data format.
Regards, Frederik
Current version: Dovecot 2.2.16.
