Courier NewThank you very much for this mini-mini HOWTO.
StripMIME is now working perfectly - the
directions are very good.
Belated feedback on this - sorry.

I would be more than happy to share my
experience and
would be obliged if Jesse would include this
as a
README for STRIPMIME in contrib folder.
My turn to contribute something. Author:-

My Hardware:- Pentium II with 64MB RAM
My OS:- RH Linux 6.2
Copy the stripmime perl script in to rt bin
folder…i.e just the perl script you should
remove
rest of the author messages , change the path
settings
Mine is something like this…
$basepath =
"{HYPERLINK "http://192.168.1.67/stripmime/$now-$$“}<underline><color><param>0000,0000,FF00</param>http://192.168.1.67/stripmime/$now-$$”;
$basefilepath =
“/home/httpd/html/stripmime/$now-$$”;
$outputprog = “/opt/rt/bin/rt-mailgate @ARGV”;
and give it execute permissions.
Install the additional perl modules required by
stripmime from www.perl.com in that order.
MIME-Base64-2.11.tar.gz
IO-stringy-1.216.tar.gz
MailTools-1.15.tar.gz
MIME-tools-5.410.tar.gz
make a folder for stripmime to save all the
MIME
content which should be Apache Document Dir
mkdir /home/httpd/html/stripmime
Now change the permissions of this folder so
that
sendmail has permissions to write into it.
chown mail /home/httpd/html/stripmime
chgrp mail /home/httpd/html/stripmime
modify rt aliases for sendmail…i.e remove rt-
mailgate
and include the full path of stripmime
testsupport: |"/opt/rt/bin/stripmime
Support correspond"
Restart sendmail.
Thats about it. StripMIME will accept the
incoming
messages…decode MIME content in it and
handle the
message without MIME to rt-mailgate.
Please let me know if I’ve forgotten something
in this
HOW TO or there are any problems during your
stripmime
installation.
Enjoy!
