FM@ILER 1.1 NOW AVAILABLE!
AUTOMATED MAILING LIST ARCHIVAL TO A SEARCHABLE WEB DATABASE
FM@iler 1.1 is a combination suite consisting of an email logging AppleScript for Emailer 2.0, a backend database application powered by the FileMaker Pro 3.0 runtime database engine, and a web server plug-in for W*API 1.1 compatible Mac web servers that provides a searchable web browser interface to archived email messages.
Emailer 2.0 is configured on a web server with a schedule to periodically check a POP account for new incoming messages. Mail Actions are also configured with rules to move incoming messages from the Inbox to the appropriate Emailer 2.0 Folder. After new mail is received and stored appropriately, Emailer 2.0 runs an AppleScript that quickly logs specific Folders containing UNREAD messages to the archival database. This database is then searchable using the built-in FileMaker Pro interface, or via a web browser interface. Database Preferences may be configured to support dozens of different archived mailing lists, each with custom HTML for banners, etc.
FM@iler 1.1 is the perfect tool for the listmaster or webmaster who needs to quickly automate the archival of online discussion mailing lists with a searchable web browser interface. For a working example of FM@iler 1.1 on the web, visit:
A 7 day trial version of FM@iler 1.1 is available for download. At this time FM@iler 1.1 requires the email program Em@iler 2.0 to handle the archiving of mail messages. The future of Em@iler 2.0 is uncertain, but can still be purchased from some retailers. Other mail programs can be used instead, but this will require the webmaster to modify the supplied AppleScript.
FM@iler 1.1 for use with the FileMaker Pro database application is included FREE with the purchase of WEB·FM 4.0. Pricing for the full, stand-alone version of FM@iler 1.1 is US$195 and distributed electronically.
