The extension was built as part of the VERP project to properly handle email bounces. Pipe incoming bounces to the bouncehandler API:- You need to add the following to your incoming mails to *@wikimedia.com receving PIPE transport: command = /usr/bin/curl "action=bouncehandler" --data-urlencode "email@-" http://$IP/api.php The genrated VERP address is of the form $wikiId-base36( $UserID )-base36( $Timestamp )-hash( $algorithm,$key, $prefix )@$email_domain where $wikiId - The wiki database name, to support multiple wikis $userID - The user_id from table 'user' - to uniquely identify a recipient. $Timestamp - The unix timestamp. $prefix = $wikiId. '-'. base_convert( $uid, 10, 36). '-'. base_convert( $timeNow, 10, 36); It use the Plancake mail parser external library to extract the headers as an addition to the optional inbuilt regex functions.
