The attached script (POP3CLT.LUA) will send a copy of a message to a specified address if it is below a certain size.

If you have incoming SMTP, simply rename it to SMTPSVR.LUA.

Place the file in the VPOP3 folder, making sure you do not overwrite any existing file with the same name.

Note - due to a newly discovered bug in 2.1.0e (and 2.1.1) and earlier, the target user must be a local address. If you want a remote address, create a distribution list with the remote address in it, then make this script send a copy to the distribution list.

The first two lines of the script configure it.

• MaxSize sets the maximum size (in bytes) of messages to be forwarded (note that this includes the message header, and any other 'control' parts of the message, not just the visible text).
  
• assistants is a table of local usernames -> assistants. Note that, in this script, you can not have multiple 'assistants' for a specific local username.

Dear Paul. Thank you for this helpful script. Just a couple of points I need to clarify to get it work:

1) Running 2.1.0c It is to a remote address so I set up a distribution list called FORWARDTOIAN and put the remote address in it.
2) I tried changing the Assistant (currently his remote email address) to FORWARDTOIAN but it says 'The assistant does not exist locally' and won't take it.
3) I have substituted (bob=bob2) to (farnham=FORWARDTOIAN)[where farnham is main local user, FORWARDTOIAN is assistant to get a copy]
is this correct?

You can tell I am new to all this!
PS: check out 'clientcopia.com' for stupid things customers say!

Many Thanks

Andrew

You shouldn't set that anyway - you don't want to use VPOP3's built in 'assistant' function as that will forward ALL messages to the assistant. So leave the 'assistant' box blank
