OK, my eyes are burning from googling and reading man pages. I'd like to do the following:
When a message comes in with an image attachment I would like that image saved to a file in a specific directory. I would also like any message body text saved to a file, and the original sender's name to another file. I've been playing with metamail for saving the pieces but I can't figure out how to save all the parts but I can't figure out how to make it not require user input. So far I can get the files saved to the current directory with the filenames encoded in the mime parts. The body wants to go to a file in /tmp by default but the binary attachments are saved with the encoded filenames to the CWD. What I'm trying to do is let friends/family with no web space (or who are too computer illiterate to put an image on the web) send me images as attachments. I will have a specific email address set up for this so procmail will process ALL messages to that address as if the contain image attachments. When the message arrives I want all the parts listed above saved to a specific directory. I will then run a bash script over them to rename the image files to "sender_name_mmddyyyy_hhmmss.[jpg|gif]". The senders will be informed that .bmp files will be deleted, they can download irfanview for Winboxen and save as .jpg because I don't feel like adding convert to the mix. Once the renaming is done the script will ftp the files to a specified web directory and create an email back to the originator and/or other specified address with links to the pictures. Right now I'm working on getting the attachments saved without my intervention. I haven't even started on the procmail recipe yet (except to move messages to that specific address into a new folder). I already have a bash script that wgets images on a regular basis and renames them with date/time so I have a base to work from on that. Somewhere I have a snippet I used to use for auto-updating a web page via ftp.
