======Attachment Extraction Scripting====== This is the 'extraction.lua' script. (Added in V6.17) This script has one functions: * Extract This functions is called if the attachment extraction is enabled in Settings -> Attachment Processing -> Extraction. For every message VPOP3 loads the script file, then for each (non-virus) attachment it calls Extract(attachmentname, sender, subject, copy, targetdirectory) * attachmentname - the filename of the attachment in the message * sender - the email address of the sender * subject - the subject of the message * copy - whether the VPOP3 settings indicate that the attachment will be copied to the target directory (true) or moved to the target directory and deleted from the message (false) * targetdirectory - the target directory determined by the VPOP3 settings The functions return two values: - an 'operation' id : 0 = don't save the attachment to file, and leave it in the message, 1 = save the attachment and delete it from the message, 2 = save the attachment and leave it in the message - the directory to save the attachment to (if //operation// <> 0). This can just be 'targetdirectory' or something else. (In v6.20 and later this can contain the standard expansions for the extraction directory) ===Example=== A simple example could be: function Extract(attach, sender, subject, copyatt, attdir) print(attach,sender,subject,copyatt,attdir); -- log the details to lua.out return 2, "%base%\\_attach2"; --copy the attachment to the VPOP3\\_attach2 folder end
