 You can configure the module to look at the =From:= entry in the email, and if a registered user has set that email (see ChangeEmailAddress), then they are identified as the contributor. Note that there is a security risk here, as the =From:= address in e-mail can easily be spoofed.

 __Note__: The CPAN =Email= modules uses *many* pluggable modules to support different folder types. It's impossible to cover all the options here; all we can suggest is that you try running the script from the command-line and resolve missing modules as you find them.

 Because of the security issues involved (passwords for the mailboxes etc.) configuration uses variables set in your =LocalSite.cfg=. The easiest way to set them is using =configure=.
 
-The =mailincron= script takes one optional parameter, <tt>debug</tt>, which takes a boolean value e.g. <tt>debug=1</tt>. If you pass anything other than 0 or the empty string in =debug=, the script will scan the mail folders, describe what it would have done, and exit, without modifying any folders, the TWiki, or sending any mails.
