Sure, all you have to do is create a script that will extract those
details.
If, for example, you have DJB's mess822 package installed, you could
do something like this:
#!/bin/bash
FROM=`822field from`
if [[ $FROM =~ "<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>" ]] ; then
EMAIL=`sed 's/.*<\([^>]*\)>.*/\1/' <<<"$FROM"`
NAME=`sed 's/ *\(.*\) *<.*/\1/' <<<"$FROM"`
else
EMAIL="$FROM"
NAME=""
fi
exec add2ldap "$NAME" "$EMAIL"
If you don't have the mess822 package, you can do something similar if
you have the formail (part of the procmail package) binary handy. The
equivalent command would be:
FROM=`formail -c -x From`
