Hello Monte:
I read you e-mail message on the Procmail's mailing list. I think you
can help me with this.
Im trying to use procmail to notify (via an alphanumeric pager in our
cellular phones) my users that they have new e-mail, by sending them
a generic message along with the name of sender, his or her e-mail
address and the subject, and cutting the message body. Of course I
want a normal copy of the message to be stored on the standar UNIX
mailbox.
For ex: You send me a message,
I want to receive:
"You have new mail"
"From: SENDER"
"E-mail address: SENDER's EMAIL ADDRESS"
"Subject: E-MAIL's SUBJECT"
E-mail paging can already be done directly, the Message system has a
120 character limit, it sends the name of sender, his/her e-mail address
and the message body not exceeding this limit. What I want is a generic
notification thay they have a new standard e-mail message so they can
know when a message they have been waiting for arrives.
The problem here is:
* Keep my users receiving their "normal" messages.
* Filter a copy of that messages cutting its body and sending only the
fields that I want to the pager.
* Filter outgoing notify message to be just a generic message, pasting
there Sender's name. e-mail address, and the subject of message (of course
I mean of the "normal" mail message), what I mean is
how can I do this without showing another user as the sender of the
notification message?
Do you have any recipe in procmail to do this? Any help will be appreciated.
Please send it to the following address: joliden(_at_)cedetel(_dot_)com(_dot_)mx
Thanks in advance!
