Zimbra mail server - Get Information about new incoming email

845 views Asked by At

As you will all know that there are black list and white list in Zimbra mail server that will block or allow a new coming email. But it's quite inconvenient by this way to block an email. So I want to make a plugin in Zimbra mail server to filter email into spam and non spam category based on a list.

But the problem i met here is i can't get the information about a new incoming email address, here is email address and header. I've read some tutorials about writing a Zimlet, but it's all about making an action to get those information.

Can you guys tell me how to get those Information?

Thanks in advance :-)

This isn't, what Zimlets are made for. Zimlets are extensions to the Web UI. Perhaps it's possible to write a server extension for that, though I don't know currently, if there's an extension class for that.

I would use a "milter" for that. A milter is a way of "hooking" into the mail delivery process.

For an example, have a look at my "disclaimr"-milter: https://github.com/dploeger/disclaimr

Inside the milter you would use the Zimbra SOAP-API to fetch objects from the Zimbra server (lists for example).
