qbox - Web question board inspired by 提问箱s in the Chinese Internet ===================================================================== qbox is a simple python WSGI HTTP program that serves as a anonymous question board, inspired by the proliferation of proprietary 提问箱 services on the more popular prat of the Chinese Internet. Supports multiple users. A guest may submit a message on the public Web interface, which qbox sends to the owner of the question board via email. The owner is expected to reply via email, which qbox receives and puts on the public Web interface. The original message is not displayed, until the owner replies like this. Implementation bug ------------------ Currently, qbox reads maildirs to look for incoming mail, every time a guest uses a GET request on the Web interface. This is inefficient and ugly. A piped local mail delivery agent or full-blown pipe transport would be more appropriate (I personally favor the LMDA method as it doesn't require modifying Postfix master.cf, and this is a really small program that doesn't really deserve a full transport.) Maybe I'll backport the (L)MDA functionality from the Simple Mailing List Management Program that I'm currently working on... sometime.
