-The command queue runner
-========================
-
-This queue runner's purpose is to process and respond to email commands.
-Commands are extensible using the Mailman plugin system, but Mailman comes
-with a number of email commands out of the box. These are processed when a
-message is sent to the list's -request address.
-
- >>> from mailman.app.lifecycle import create_list
- >>> mlist = create_list(u'test@example.com')
-
-
-A command in the Subject
-------------------------
-
-For example, the 'echo' command simply echoes the original command back to the
-sender. The command can be in the Subject header.
-
- >>> msg = message_from_string("""\
- ... From: aperson@example.com
- ... To: test-request@example.com
- ... Subject: echo hello
- ... Message-ID: <aardvark>
- ...
- ... """)
-
- >>> from mailman.inject import inject_message
- >>> inject_message(mlist, msg, switchboard='command')
- >>> from mailman.queue.command import CommandRunner
- >>> from mailman.testing.helpers import make_testable_runner
- >>> command = make_testable_runner(CommandRunner)
- >>> command.run()
-
-And now the response is in the virgin queue.
-
- >>> from mailman.queue import Switchboard
- >>> virgin_queue = config.switchboards['virgin']
- >>> len(virgin_queue.files)
- 1
- >>> from mailman.testing.helpers import get_queue_messages
- >>> item = get_queue_messages('virgin')[0]
- >>> print item.msg.as_string()
- Subject: The results of your email commands
- From: test-bounces@example.com
- To: aperson@example.com
- ...
- <BLANKLINE>
- The results of your email command are provided below.
- <BLANKLINE>
- - Original message details:
- From: aperson@example.com
- Subject: echo hello
- Date: ...
- Message-ID: <aardvark>
- <BLANKLINE>
- - Results:
- echo hello
- <BLANKLINE>
- - Done.
- <BLANKLINE>
- >>> sorted(item.msgdata.items())
- [..., ('listname', u'test@example.com'), ...,
- ('recips', [u'aperson@example.com']),
- ...]
-
-
-A command in the body
----------------------
-
-The command can also be found in the body of the message, as long as the
-message is plain text.
-
- >>> msg = message_from_string("""\
- ... From: bperson@example.com
- ... To: test-request@example.com
- ... Message-ID: <bobcat>
- ...
- ... echo foo bar
- ... """)
-
- >>> inject_message(mlist, msg, switchboard='command')
- >>> command.run()
- >>> len(virgin_queue.files)
- 1
- >>> item = get_queue_messages('virgin')[0]
- >>> print item.msg.as_string()
- Subject: The results of your email commands
- From: test-bounces@example.com
- To: bperson@example.com
- ...
- Precedence: bulk
- <BLANKLINE>
- The results of your email command are provided below.
- <BLANKLINE>
- - Original message details:
- From: bperson@example.com
- Subject: n/a
- Date: ...
- Message-ID: <bobcat>
- <BLANKLINE>
- - Results:
- echo foo bar
- <BLANKLINE>
- - Done.
- <BLANKLINE>
-
-
-Stopping command processing
----------------------------
-
-The 'end' command stops email processing, so that nothing following is looked
-at by the command queue.
-
- >>> msg = message_from_string("""\
- ... From: cperson@example.com
- ... To: test-request@example.com
- ... Message-ID: <caribou>
- ...
- ... echo foo bar
- ... end ignored
- ... echo baz qux
- ... """)
-
- >>> inject_message(mlist, msg, switchboard='command')
- >>> command.run()
- >>> len(virgin_queue.files)
- 1
- >>> item = get_queue_messages('virgin')[0]
- >>> print item.msg.as_string()
- Subject: The results of your email commands
- ...
- <BLANKLINE>
- - Results:
- echo foo bar
- <BLANKLINE>
- - Unprocessed:
- echo baz qux
- <BLANKLINE>
- - Done.
- <BLANKLINE>
-
-The 'stop' command is an alias for 'end'.
-
- >>> msg = message_from_string("""\
- ... From: cperson@example.com
- ... To: test-request@example.com
- ... Message-ID: <caribou>
- ...
- ... echo foo bar
- ... stop ignored
- ... echo baz qux
- ... """)
-
- >>> inject_message(mlist, msg, switchboard='command')
- >>> command.run()
- >>> len(virgin_queue.files)
- 1
- >>> item = get_queue_messages('virgin')[0]
- >>> print item.msg.as_string()
