Hi roundup experts,

I have problem in connection roundup mailgw with microsoft mailexchane 
using rpc(remote procedure call) i cannot use imaps as it is blocked by 
my company.Please provide any solutions to this.Do we have any python 
scripts or something else to connect it.

Any help will be appreciated 
thanks

Hi Vaibhav,
thanks for trying roundup.

Can you give us more insight in your issue?
Is is more a support request for your specific situation
or a feature request?

Just asking, because for support request, the -users list of roundup
usally gives you the fastest and best results, because most users
read there.

I also would be interested to know which of the two ways of email
you are concerned about: 
a) roundup -> outgoing
b) incoming -> roundup
And which platform your are running roundup on.

So if you ask on the -users list you should include this info.

If you have OWA available perhaps:

  http://code.google.com/p/weboutlook/

could work?

Also what OS are you running roundup on? If you are on windows
and have outlook available I think there is a COM interface to
MAPI that may be usable.

Google for python and these these terms. There are a ton of hits.

In theory it should be possible to send and retrieve email this way,
but AFAIK nobody has done the development to make this work with
roundup. Also given that it's proprietary and poorly documented
and keeps changing with different exchange versions, it's a hard
way to do it.

If you are running on linux, have the exchange people
forward the email though the exchange server to your internal
server and handle the mail there.

Thanks Bernhard Reiter (ber) for looking into my issue.
I am using roundup on windows os.My problem is that i want to process 
the mails in my inbox and update the issues.I was using roundup-mailgw 
for this.But imaps,pop are disabled now by my adminstrator and i need 
to use RPC to connect to mail exchange 2010.
i need for incoming-> roundup
People send mails to roundup mail id to create new issue or update 
existing issue.
So i need some python script which can solve purpose of roundup-mailgw 
but uses RPC instead of imaps or any other alternative

Hi Vaibhav,
could your Exchange admin add another delivery route for
your email address to your exchange?
Usually a smpt route should work, and then you would only need
to run a small MTA on your side. Of course this depends on if
your machine is running all the time.

Hi Bernhard,

Mail admin is not ready to do anything for this. Everything I have to 
do myself. Is there any way that roundup can pick messages from my 
local machine somehow. I can save the messages to my local mail client
(not owa). 
Appreciate your help

Hi Vaibhav,

yes, if you manage that emails get saved on your file system somehow,
then you could use a periodic script to push them into roundup.

So check into how to run a script periodically (if you don't find
something looke for "cron" utilities, "cron" is the GNU/Linux name for
it.)

And then make it pipe each email into roundup-mailgw, every few minutes
or so.

Best,
Bernhard
