[Jaroslaw Wencel]

Hello

I have problem with attachements not being recognized by mailpiler

what else should I check/change to have searchable attachements?

Thanks in advance Jarek

Hello Miroslaw, please take the attachment, and try running catdoc from the command line, and let's see whether it can process it properly:

catdoc -d utf-8 /path/to/your.doc

[Jaroslaw Wencel]

Hello

catdoc works perfectly with the doc file attached, how could I check if piler is able to run the command and process the output? is there any verbose and not-demonized way of running piler?

Thanks Jarek

[Jaroslaw Wencel]

... also - how can I check if piler is able to process docx files (at leat I can unzip the file manually and see it's contents)

Thanks Jarek

[Janos SUTO]

try the pilertest utility in the source directory:

./pilertest /path/to/letter.eml

[Janos SUTO]

Btw. try the latest master branch download as well, which is more or less the same as the latest version (0.1.22)

[Jaroslaw Wencel]

I'm able to search for both, doc and docx contents now :) I have upgraded my instance to latest piler version (0.1.22) and it helped.

... but my question about verbose output from attachement processing is still up to date ...

Jarek

[Janos SUTO]

well, pilertest is the verbose testing tool. The piler daemon itself runs as daemon mode especially because its children process the request. Or perhaps I don't get your point why you need a non daemonized daemon...

[Jaroslaw Wencel]

it looks like pilertest is pretty good testing tool, however you need to have an email written in file to do the test. IMO it would be convenient to run piler in the way to listen for incoming connections and reporting actions to stdout. Additionally, when you don't fork the application you'll get the effect I write about

IMO you may close this issue not to mislead users

cheers, Jarek

[Janos SUTO]

OK, I see. I'll think about it. However if you set it's verbosity to 5 (=debug level), then it syslogs its actions to maillog.
