I'm using a mailing list for a very specific application. All the e-mails arrive in a standard - but unfriendly format.
How do I reformat them? If I could filter the messages through a unix script, that'd do the job perfectly. Is there a way to get mailman to pass e-mails through a script before sending them? What I'm actually trying to do is that the message arrives something like this: " Subject: Message from #343223 at 16:50 on 16/07/2014 Body: Dear X, Here is the from #343223 at 16:50 on 16/07/2014 J.Smith|Logged a message|Urgent|16:50 on 16/07/2014|Subject:Incident|Description:The machine is broken| |How do I fix it?|Status:New|Telephone:01423435|e-mail:j-sm...@smiths.co.es|16:50 on 16/07/2014|Location:Head Office| MessageID:3...@co.es.4212 " What I'd like to turn this into is: Subject: URGENT Incident - Logged by J.Smith at 16:50 on 16/07/2014 Message: URGENT Incident - J.Smith - Telephone:01423435 e-mail:j-sm...@smiths.co.es -------------------------------- The machine is broken How do I fix it? -------------------------------- Location: Head Office " What's the best way to achieve that? All the messages have exactly the same format, so it'd be really easy to write an awk filter to do this, and that'd be my preferred option - but I've no idea where to put the script or how to ask mailman to use it. To complicate matters a little bit, I'm using a hosted machine, so I have to do everything through CPANEL. If this isn't possible, my next option would be to send the messages to a machine I do have control over - so, if there's a way to do this that needs root access then I'd like to know that too, because that's plan C. [My Plan A was to get the originating machine to send nicely formatted messages in the first place, but I've not managed that and run out of time..] ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
