Have procmail pipe the message (with headers) to a script of your own devising.
Suck the headers off the script to get the reply address (remembering to
use Reply-To: instead of From: if present).
For the remaining lines, read each one:
while read url
do ( echo "To: $replyaddr"
echo "From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]"
echo "Subject: get $url"
wget -q -s -O - "$url" | sed '1s/^/X-HTTP-Response: /'
) | /usr/lib/sendmail -oi -t
done
Note how we don't leave a blank link after the Subject:, because this
was we can cleverly include the HTTP headers, which is kinda neat since
HTTP responses are RFC822 complaint (because they're MIME-complaint).
We do have to fake the response code up into a header line, hence the sed.
I'd expect such a service to be easy to abuse. I hope you don't have to pay
for your bandwidth!
