The xmlrpc client needs to authenticate with the moin server (otherwise
anybody could import mail into your wiki by xmlrpc call).

It does so by a shared secret and the code checking it at the wiki
server side is this:

    if request.cfg.secrets['xmlrpc/ProcessMail'] != secret:
        return u"Invalid password"

Thus, in your wikiconfig.py you need:

    secrets = {
        'xmlrpc/ProcessMail': 'foobar',
        # ... other secrets ...
    }

On the client side (the mailimport script), you need a mailimportconf.py
with:

    mail_import_secret = 'foobar'
    mail_import_url = 'http://server/?action=xmlrpc2'

Hope that helps. :)
