'Pull' based user table

Post by jhmartin »

I use a global user table for incoming mail, but it is unpleasant to have to keep coming to the Rollernet site to update it when I add / change users or Mailman lists. It would be nice if Rollernet could be configured to fetch the list from a URL, preferably something that understood http auth.

IE, I would enter into the form:

URL: http://host.example.com/some/file
HTTP USERNAME: rollernet
HTTP PASSWD: *****

of course the username / pw are optional. Rollernet would then visit that URL every X minutes (hourly? Daily? perhaps daily for free accts, hourly for non-free) and on non-error it parses the results. This way I can write a script local to my mail machine that generates the list of addresses and makes it available to Rollernet.

good idea - but you have to create the user list, too.
Isn´t it easier to use API ? https://acc.rollernet.us/api/
