The following changes have been completed on the email interface:
This should complete the list of initial email changes.
As of 11/24, 2:15 PM, customers began to recevie reply notices.
Recent changes:
- Fixed stati flag on append message, stati Unseen changed to UNSEEN
when appending text to an existing log.
- Removed word "temporarily" from the text acknowledgement message
sent to the customer.
- Inserted seperate acknowledgement message for email's that are
annotating existing
- Both Log and Logid (case insensitive) are used for searching the
subject to locate the log number for appending the email text.
- If the subject begins with a Re: , and does not contain a logid,
then the subject (minus the Re: ) is queried against the database,
if only one record is found, then we treat this an annotation to
the log.
- A stop list has been created. For now, the stop list is populated
with "mailer-daemon@MIT.EDU". Any mail sent from an address located
in the stop list is sent to helpsuper@mit.edu and NOT inserted into
the database.
- Functionality was implemented to disallow mail sent from the
Oracle server machine to be returned for insertion into Oracle.
This would have been an infinite loop as the server machine
would keep trying to reply to it'self.
- Bounced mail flags now properly set.
- Tested previous changes: 2k history search field now filled in,
user "client" filled in for both received by and modified by
fields.
- Fixed bugs such as trying to append text to an existing record
without any history text.
