Writing a munging recipe

2002-04-10 09:59:24
Greetings all. I'm in need of some assistance on a munging recipe, or examples that I can use. I use procmail to remove specific messages that I know for certain are spam that can't be matched with my MTA. I'd like to go parse the assorted spools full of this spam, munge every instance of my users' addresses (replacing it with munged(_at_)mydomain(_dot_)net), prepend a string to the subject line, and send it off to two address (FTC and NANAS). Can anyone offer any insight into this? I've never used procmail to alter the body of a message or alter any information in a header. Once I've munged the mail spools (or perhaps during the munging--suggestions?) I'll use formail to send the messages to the news.admin.net-abuse.sightings newsgroup bot for posting and to use(_at_)ftc(_dot_)gov(_dot_) I don't want to do it with my users' information (addresses at least) in the message.

Wait, I forgot to mention something else. This will change things a bit. I'll probably have to munge and mail at the same time because of this. I need to quote the entire message (headers and body) into the body of another message that gets forwarded to those two addresses. I need to prepend "[email]" to the subject line of the quoted spam and use that for the new message's Subject. I guess this greatly complicates things. Would I be better off munging the spool and outputting that to file. Then run the munged spool through formail?
