I have been using
AnyEmail for a while, now I get cookie errors, what happened?
This is due to the expiration of the trial license. You must purchase
a license to keep using AnyEMail.
I don't have access to a SMTP server, what can I do?
You can use the sendmail program or equivalent (such as qmail) to send
emails.
I can't get AnyEmail to work under IIS!
You must set the $fix_cgi_url variable to the full URL of the AnyEmail
script.
Is AnyEmail efficient?
Yes, it uses very
efficient algorithms in parsing the mail messages, which is the key
to performance. We wrote a highly optimized MIME parsing algorithm by
ourselves, which outperforms the third party modules we tested by a
wide margin. One could split the script into many smaller ones to save
some compile time, but that would result in little overall performance
improvement, as the time spent in loading the script is only a small
percentage of the total CPU usage.
Anyemail is a high-quality software written by expert PERL programmers,
who also wrote the AnyBoard message board system.
How do I configure
the interface?
Anyemail has an
optional configuration section, which allows you to set the following:
- Colors of various
areas
- Layout (number
and locations of frames, no frames, etc).
- Header footer
of various windows/frames.
See online
user guide for more details.
Does the CGI save
my password on the WEB server?
No. After your
initial login, your email password is never saved on the WEB server,
instead it is saved as a temporary cookie inside your browser. This
cookie is destroyed when you exit your browser or select the logout
link.
Do I need to install
10 Perl modules for it to work?
No. Anyemail uses
the Socket module to communicate with POP3/SMTP servers directly,
it does not use any external programs or non-standard modules
that are not shipped with Perl5. Like AnyBoard,
Anyemail is self-contained in one script. This is done to make installation
as simple as possible. Using an inline-autoloading technic, only those
function needed at runtime are compiled.
