I don't understand your issue. Outputs (like ommail) don't care what input the message arrived through.
I can agree with you at the exception that we can find in official documentation of ommail a note about imfile To be more precise : http://www.rsyslog.com/doc/v8-stable/configuration/modules/ommail.html "Please note that ommail is especially well-suited to work in tandem with imfile to watch files for the occurence of specific things to be alerted on. So its scope is far broader than forwarding syslog messages to mail recipients." This is the only place where i can read about this. So it seems to me that ommail can be triggered through the files watched by imfile. I don't know how, and this is the first reason why i came here. But after all you said it seems that this functionnality is not implemented or i just miss understood this part of the documentation.
to clarify, to use ommail with imfile you just configure imfile to read the file(s) you care about and the log messages that are then generated can trigger ommail just like any others.
