Re: [gentoo-user] Procmail replacement
Yes, looks like getmail is to replace fetchmail - interesting links to many flames of the author of fetchmail on the site . I'd have to use something else to process the mail .

Something like that. It's difficult at best to do any kind of complex processing in bash. On the other hand, if it's simple enough to do just with bash builtins, you have a very lightweight script. Even calling a few commands will tend to be less overhead than invoking perl. Don't eschew bash programming entirely. It may be limited, but you can still do a lot within those limitations. Glory in the power of pipes. I've been known to accomplish tasks with scriplets - single line scripts consisting of several commands strung together.

Yeah, I tried that too. I take it this is why real programmers often scoff at
bash "programmers". So what're bash scripts good for then? Just automation
with a small amount of primitive conditionals?
Moving to perl won't be too hard, though. I've got all the knowledge I need
now to do the task - thanks to all for that! - and Perl seems to be something
of a mix of Pascal and BASIC, so it shouldn't be too hard.
Once again, thanks to all!

Jason

I'm sorry to say, but I think you might have just exceeded the
capabilities of bash. You can play around with stuff, but it looks like
bash likes to ditch leading spaces. I think you need to crack open the
perl man pages or possibly go to temp files from within procmail.
Try this and see:
$ls
$ " ls"
I'm pretty sure that 'read' will also ditch leading spaces, and I don't
know how to get around that.

I've found that formail is capable of doing that too. This, however, has
brought another problem. I've taken the grep line out of the loop and read
the entire message into a variable as follows:
message=""
while read msg_line
do
message="${message}${msg_line}\n"
done
I figured I'd then be able to use the whole message with formail as Yorkshire
Dave suggested (and it increases performance too). However, the whitespace at
the beginning of multiline headers is being truncated so formail cannot
interpret the mail correctly. The only references to whitespace are with
regard to IFS but that doesn't seem to have any effect. Is there any other
way to turn off this behaviour?

Well, there is an interesting snippet in the end of "man procmailex" that might apply here (includes mimencode to strip mime data and convert to plain text) This could probably be used in combination with some other filter to remove the headers (perhaps "formail" could work) .

Your fork recommendation is very simple to understand. My understanding of:
:0 c
* ^header-condition
| filter
is that procmail generates a copy of the message and sends it through filter
if it matches header-condition, while the original message continues being
processed with the following rules. Obviously I'm incorrect. I can't see how
procmail was processing the rule to get 2 copies.
BTW is there any tool I can use to extract plain text body of a message?

This is basically a fork.
First you match the "No spam" tag
Then you enter a block {
then you pipe a copy through the "my-bash-script"
and then the original goes into "storage"

The grep line is fairly easy to understand. I've got to learn regular

It's been a little while since I've done something like this, but I think
I've got it. 'cat /dev/stdin' is the wrong way to read input to a
command. Also, I'd just save everything in a variable, and avoid disk
access. And make sure you're only sending the header. I believe there's
an 'h' flag for procmail to do this. Scanning every line of a 5MB email
will be a bit of a performance loss.
#!/bin/bash
notify_msg=""
while read header_line
do
if `echo $header_line | egrep -q '^(From|Date|Subject)'`
then
notify_msg="${notify_msg}${header_line}\n"
fi
done
echo -e $notify_msg | mail -s "Mail Notification" $1
If you don't understand the grep line, read the entire grep man page top
to bottom. It will be one of the more useful things you do.

I don't have procmail on this computer, but I think I can give a rough idea of what to do. First, read the procmail man page about the flags. You'll want to clone the message and process only the header. If it's to your girlfriend and not spam (with negative regexp for spamassassin header line), then filter it. The following script should work, though you should doublecheck, as I haven't dealt much with multiline strings and I've never sent mail from a perl script before. #!/usr/bin/perl $myemail = ""; $notify_subject = "New mail!"; $header = /^(From|Date|Subject)/; open MAIL,"|mail -s $notify_subject $myemail"; print MAIL $header; close MAIL; Adapt to your own desires and needs. :) -- Caution: Product will be hot after heating -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
[gentoo-user] Procmail and mail "notification"
Hello all, I'm not too familiar with procmail, so I don't know if what I want to do is possible. I've only just started using it and thanks to Spider's guide have Spam-Assassin working with it correctly. Here's the current situation: Me and my girlfriend have one computer - a laptop. I want to use it 24/7, she wants to use it just to check mail every so often. So, what I want to do is have procmail send details of any new messages that aren't spam to my girlfriend's mobile. That is, not the whole message, only the date/time, sender and subject - maybe a couple of lines like Spam-Assassin does for spam-mail as well. My guess is that it is not directly possible with procmail. I'm guessing that I'd have to use some sort of script to pipe each e-mail message through.

The have mail adresses at "normal" isp's and hotmail. For hotmail i'm using gotmail. And using fetchmail for gathering the mails from the isp's. Now my problem is how to distribute all that mail to the mailboxes of those users.

Me thinks your procmail problem is probably a misconfigured .procmailrc
more than a procmail problem. Try something like this. Change where
necessary to match your setup.
Note that on MAILDIR type setups, locks in the recipies are not
necessary. You are creating unique files in a directory, the who
purpose of Maildir to begin with. Locks are for files, not directories
in this case. Exception is spamassassin which needs locks.
>From your log file:
Procmail: Match on "^FROM:.*codewordt\.co\.uk"
procmail: Assigning "LASTFOLDER=.maildir/.flat"
^^
procmail: Opening ".maildir/.flat"
^^
procmail: Error while writing to ".maildir/.flat"
^
Assigning "LASTFOLDER=/home/gentoo/.maildir/msg.AkD"
Whats this? All your messages are going into a message file.
Your paths to your maildir folders are wrong. First of all, forget
about using locks in Maildir folders. Locks serve no purpose there.
Indeed thats one of the reasons that Maildir folders exist.
Now, First some common mistakes in procmail, while, they work, are not
really 100% correct:
# Dont use locks on Maildir folders as such...
:0:
* ^Subject:.*text
# Assumes my MUA puts a ':' in the Subject line. What if it doesnt?
HINT: use * ^Subject.*text _NOT_ ^Subject:. Ok?
# Escaping the '.' to detect a '.'
* ^List-Id.*cvs\.lists\.horde\.org
# ^List-Id headers dont need escaping the regex '.', it's redundant
# it complicates things, and it makes it harder to read.
# Ahh much better, and easier to read too :)
* ^List-Id.*cvs.lists.horde.org
I assume your MTA is properly configured to let procmail deliver the
mail.
Hint: for postfix,
mailbox_command = /usr/bin/procmail -a "$EXTENSION"
Note: in procmailrc *ALWAYS* give the file a shell. Always
give it a path to any programs it may need.
Note 2: I use Courier-imap. Support about 1000 usrs. And well your
procmail recipes are not working because you do not understand how
Maildirs are structured, and secondly you do not understand how Courier
sets up its folders in the maildir directory structure. Understanding
this is a necessary prerequsite to getting procmail to work.
I've included a short sample from one of my hundreds of .procmailrc
scripts. It should contain enough info to help you get started, unless
you are just completely and utterly lost, in which case, you should
probably pay someone to set this up for you.
I go though great pains to define _all_ my IMAP folders at the start of
the script. After trying to debug a procmail.log file with hundred of
thousands of entries, supporting hundreds of users, the extra
readability given to the script itself is well worth the effort.
Last, I've included a sample from my procmail.log to show how
procmail expands the directory names.
Hopefully this will be helpful to others as well. I do not claim to be
an expert, this is stuff I have learned on my own and it's nothing
special trust me.
