morning smfreegard

hello haraka team i have read the docs bt the plugins not doing anyhing i have created folder fro qmailqueue please have a look at a file tell me does it really send mail to qmail directory

what's the easiest way to access the whole raw mail data (as string)? Do I have to fiddle with messagestream?

or just do header.toString and body.bodytext and then concatenate?

You don't have to "fiddle" with messagestream. It can give you the entire thing as a string.

messagestream.get_data(function (data) { ...

baudehlo: "cannot pipe while currently piping"

if I do anything else than console.log, it just errors out

It's currently piping. You can't do that.

so how is it useful then?

It's useful if you do it in the right place.

Just don't do it there.

I need it as a string, as I said

not parts of it

The problem is where you're trying to do it.

It's probably trying to deliver somewhere at the same time.

so it is fiddling...

What hook are you doing it in?

data_post

So maybe two things are trying to access it at once?

I don't think so

console.log works fine

but if I do anything else, then it errors out

can we see the code?

on gist.github.com

well, I get the error regardless it seems

transaction.message_stream.get_data(function (data) { console.log(data); });

Yeah you can't do that if there's a next() after it. The next() has to be INSIDE the callback.

that doesn't work for my use case, since that is a utility function

it doesn't happen in the haraka callback function

It has to.

Otherwise it's going to try and pipe twice.

then it's not suitable for my use case

Then there's no other way.

return body.header.header_list.join("") + "\n" + body.bodytext

works fine

Because your transaction could have finished and messagestream emptied by the time you get to it.

bodytext isn't the contents of the mail though.

close enough

It's likely to be "This is a multipart MIME message". If that's close enough for you, then you have weird requirements :)

there's nothing weird about proof of concept

don't want to deal with too many details and if accessing the raw mail is made difficult in haraka, I'll just use that hack

It's not made difficult, you just can't expect to read from disk blocking in node.

I don't want to read from disk. I want the raw mail body.

if that forces me to deal with the side effects of message_stream, then I'd say it is difficult

the raw mail body may be on disk depending on whether it has been spooled or not.

That's the point.

If you *really* wanted a hacky way of doing it, in hook_data do: connection.client.on('data', function (data) { }) and just keep reading until data_post.

then use Buffer.concat() to create one big buffer.

Yeah, could be worth a try.

I wonder what's the best way to "transform" the current mail into another one. I currently manipulate the transaction object, which works, but I thought maybe it's cleaner to use outbound.send_email from within data_post hooks. If the outnext function passed to send_email does next(OK), then I assume the original mail will not get sent?
