PEAR mail and attachments

Post by shawngoldw »

Hello, I am setting up a mail system for my website where I need to manually parse and distribute incoming emails to my server. Currently I have a php script which navigates my Maildir/new directory and parses the emails 1 by 1 to forward them to a relevant list of members based on the address the emails are to.

I have used the PEAR email package to send the messages out through the gmail smtp servers but am having some trouble getting attachments to work. I am using Mai/mime.php from PEAR to try to attach files.

I can attach files with addAttachment() but my problem is that when reading an incoming email i don't have a file to attach, but I rather have to parse the email to get the file. I am not sure how to do this.

If anyone could help me figure out how to parse the attachments in a Maildir email and send it attach it through PEAR, it would be greatly appreciated.
