Re: YoPop Usage

Hi Jean-Yves,

YoPop says:
Usage: YoPop COMMAND
Runs COMMAND on POP3 request.

It basically runs any COMMAND on POP3 request. So if you want YoSucker 
to be invoked, you need to execute:

$ YoPop /path/to/YoSucker

That will do the job. (maybe --- YoPop is just a simple workaround written 
for my friend in 5 minutes a year ago. I haven't touched it since then and 
have no reports of people using it. But it may/should work fine in a 
simple setup

Good luck, Jean-Yves!

weird email

Hi there,

I got a weird email yesterday. It only has the following headers, no "From,
To" etc

      X-Apparently-To: piiidtt@... via 66.218.93.27; Sat, 24 Jan 2004
02:01:12 -0800
      X-YahooFilteredBulk: 66.183.166.52
      Return-Path: <yxxxttbenob@...>
      Received: from 66.183.166.52 (HELO d66-183-166-52.bchsia.telus.net)
(66.183.166.52) by mta159.mail.sc5.yahoo.com with SMTP; Sat, 24 Jan 2004
02:01:10 -0800
      Received: from 134.176.110.80 by 66.183.166.52; Fri, 23 Jan 2004
11:02:57 +0100
      Message-ID: <Z[20
      Content-Length: 0

But since then, yosucker starts to complain "Header structure corruption!
Message won't be saved correctly! Message won't be deleted and/or stored in
repository". Yosucker can't delete the corrupted email, so it gets an empty
new email every time it connects to the server.
I guess this is a rare situation. I'm just wondering how it could get into
my Inbox at yahoo.

thanks,
Yuan

headers

Re: weird email

Hi Yuan!

That's right. It seems like you got a weird message to your YahooMail 
account, message that doesn't contain any From: To: Date: header. 
YoSucker checks whether the message it fetches contains at least one of 
those headers to prevent a message loss in case of a connection error, 
malfunction, etc. So your message triggers this YoSucker protection 
mechanism, but it doesn't seem, as you said, to be its fault. So just find 
the right message and delete it using the web-interface. It is probably 
some form of spam.

Hope this helps! Have fun!
