My suggestion would be to go with the (text file + shelling to
sendmail) combination, and not the (shell + echo + pipe) combination
to get variables into anything but the simplest stuff.
I have not done this with sendmail but looking at the man page, would
indicate that you need to use the :
Postfix sendmail relies on the postdrop(1) command to create
a queue file in the maildrop directory.
Which you can find at:
/var/spool/postfix, mail queue
However as this says use postdrop which in return takes input from
STDIN you are back to square one.
newaliases
Initialize the alias database. If no input file is
specified
(with the -oA option, see below), the program
processes the
file(s) specified with the alias_database
configuration parame-
ter. If no alias database type is specified, the
program uses
the type specified with the default_database_type
configuration
parameter. This mode of operation is implemented by
running the
postalias(1) command.
Where:
-oAalias_database
Non-default alias database. Specify pathname or
type:pathname.
See postalias(1) for details.
So this is not looking simple:) The postalias command seems to be the
thing you need to create the queue files in the maildrop directory
(from files):
POSTALIAS(1)
POSTALIAS(1)
NAME
postalias - Postfix alias database maintenance
SYNOPSIS
postalias [-Nfinoprvw] [-c config_dir] [-d key] [-q key]
[file_type:]file_name ...
So by issuing a series of simple commands passing the right fileNames
you should get the result you want? NB ie use merge() to create the
right shell commands...
