Re-sending selected e-mail messages
I need a way to automatically re-sent stored e-mail messages according to some criteria and like to ask for advice or suggestions for an already existing solution before I start reinventing the wheel. :-) The messages in question are stored in MH format. This is a tree where a mailbox equals a directory, and the individual files in that directory equal the messages. They are numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, ..., and so on. Each message is in Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable or Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit or maybe even Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit text format. Some of them might contain an attachment, which is included in the file with something like --Multipart=... Content-Type: ...; name=... Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=... Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 --Multipart=...--- Some messages are fully multipart. So when iterating on ~/Mail/sent/1,2,3,4,5,... I get all the messages. Each third line, To:, is the criteria to look at. If it matches a given recipient, the mail should be sent again. This can easily be done by the system's mailer which is properly configured (and uses ISP's MX), so | mail -s maybe new subject is possible. The message should already be properly pre-composed. What is the easiest way to do this without reinventing the wheel, or should I? :-) -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Or maybe procmail's tools (I'm thinking in particular of procmail, although there are some other bits and bobs that might relate also) would serve the particular selection criteria? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

(the easy way to feed pmess a single message is actually to feed the single message to elmboxo as it is coded) anyway its built to stuff them in a mongodb db, but I.m working on a free nosql solution that works for my project. you can just chuck all those bits. an idea.

What is the easiest way to do this without reinventing the wheel,
or should I? :-)
procmail is your friend.
cat ~/sent* |procmail -f resendrc
where resendrc is:
emailaddr=f...@bar.baz
:0
*^To: *${emailaddr}
*^Subject:\/.*$
| formail -I Subject: {resend} ${MATCH} | $SENDMAIL -oi -t
Delete the 'formail' if you want the Subject: unmolested.
