I'm not looking to hire anyone. I just want to know the following:
1. Is my goal achievable/feasible?
2. I know how to get the email address (via my php script). I've got
this recipe working:
:0
| /usr/local/bin/php $HOME/getAndSend.php; \
cat > /dev/null
But, as you can see, the email is basically terminated by procmail.
by your choice. It's how you wrote the recipe
I have my php script actually recreating an email after parsing
through the data. I know this is not the best solution. I'm looking
for a way to let the email go through but after I get the data I need.
from TFM (procmailrc):
You can tell procmail to treat a delivering recipe as if it were a
non-delivering recipe by specify‐ ing the c' flag on such a recipe.
This will make procmail generate a carbon copy of the mail by
delivering it to this recipe, yet continue processing the rcfile.
operate on the copy and let the original be delivered intact
I think I can do this with a recipe like this:
:0
CUSTOM_DATA = | /usr/local/bin/php $HOME/getCustomBodyPrependData.php
Once I have this data (might be html) in the CUSTOM_DATA variable, all I
need to do is prepend it to the body. This is where it gets tricky and
where I need you guys' help.
3. Is there a solid way to prepend the email body regardless of format
and still preserve the email structure and components?
man formail, search for "extract the header/body"
looks like:
1. obtain email address of customer, you have
2. extract header and body (separately) from copy of msg
3. cat {your custom file} and the body
4. reassamble header and new body
5. deliver
and now you have 99% of your solution at your fingertips.
RTFM is your friend :^)
