Ie not real accounts all exist only on mysql, and since I changed from a normall stock setup to using mysql procmail no longer will work. All boxes are in form of user@domain.com I really miss procmail! -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org] On Behalf Of Greg Larkin Sent: Friday, August 29, 2008 3:03 PM To: Marcel Grandemange Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Script To Execute command via mail -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Marcel Grandemange wrote: > I have an interesting situation. > > I have a windows based sms server, this machine works in the following way. > > It watches a shared directory for txt files that must be formatted in > certain way and periodically sends them off to mobile. > > What I want to do is create a SMTP to SMS gateway. > > Easy in theory! > > Rite a script to map shared drive, ensure it's connected and write the txt > files in dir. > > However the second part I have no idea, somehow I need to watch the mbox > file of say a e-mail account called "test" > > And IF a mail arrives parse it look for a security key if exists convert to > txt file and copy to shared dir. > Hi Marcel, Do you have a FreeBSD machine in the mix somewhere?
