 The email2trac package contains the following utilities:
- * '''email2trac.py''' : converts an email to ticket. Reads a config file email2trac.conf
- * '''run_email2trac.c''' : suid program that changes the MTA-user to the TRAC-user so that we can save attachments
- * '''delete_spam.py''' : small program that deletes the SPAM tickets from the database
