Recently I was asked by a customer to deliver .wav files to the inbox of their mail server from a Unity Connection server. Well, by asked I mean that the salesperson promised it to them and I had to find a way to deliver it.
I came up with an idea to do this… it didn’t work. But the idea was sound, it just needed a little tuning to make it work right.
I used a Linux server with PHP and Postfix to make all the magic work. It also helped that none of the customers used Unity Connection’s web client.
I created aliases on the Postfix server redirecting users to a custom script. The script then logs into the Unity Connection system and retrieves the .wav file and retransmits it as a new message to a specified email address.
I’m still polishing it up a bit, but it’s fully functional and delivering .wav files to our inboxes as expected. When I get it to a more flexible format I’ll release it on this site. For now, if you are interested and don’t mind a ‘beta’ version of the software, let me know and I can provide you with a copy and instructions for use.
