CentOS 5 Server :: Procmail: Piping To A Php Script?
Aug 6, 2010
I have my .procmailrc file set up to pipe mail to a simple php script I've written. The only thing the script does at this point is echo back a "hello" message. However, procmail does not execute the script properly.
Here's my script (/home/webs/site.com/scripts/echo.php):

I have been trying to get procmail working on CentOS 5.2. I don't need anything fancy, just an auto reply for a "noreply@" account. Looking at the sendmail configuration, it appears procmail is the MDA. I have looked at many different tutorials and how-tos, but most are old, and/or the locations/paths and setups are markedly different from the defaults on my system. Can anyone recommend a good CentOS-based tutorial on Procmail w/ recipes? (I have an RHEL book and it's no help either.) Thank you for your time and consideration.
I'm new to CentOS, having always used Slackware in the past. I'm trying to get Cyrus 2.3.7 IMAP working with Procmail 3.22, and having a slight issue. My current setup in sendmail.mc is as follows:
Recently we are receiving lots of spam email specially ( Viagra). I want to use spamassassen to filter the spams so I need to configure procmail as local mail delivery agent.At the moment I am using prosfix for mail delivery agent and our server is Centos 5. I did google it but couldn't find a good instruction.
I have Centos 5.5 and using Postfix, procmail and Dovecot for sending and receiving emails. I have spamassassin installed too but not configured. I am getting lots of spams. I googled a lot to find if there is any configuration but I couldn't find.how to setup spamassassin to filter emails for spams.
Small server running 5.3 - stock postfix configured to use Maildir. Dovecot configured but both pop and imap ports blocked by firewall. Access to mail is via Squirrelmail via https. Configured to virus scan via ClamAV. Works just fine. Now I want to add procmail filtering. So I create these two files - ~/.forward and ~/.procmailrc in my user home dir: "|exec /usr/bin/procmail -f- || exit 75 #mpeters"
I'm trying to pipe from a textfile to sendmail.The command I'm using on teh sendmail server is:[root@sendmail-server test]# sendmail to-email-address@relay_server-address < test2.txt.I'm doing this because I was doing this from an aliases file just fine until about three weeks ago. The aliases file suddenly stopped working after the relay server received an inordinate amount of email from the From: address and for the To: address.
I am using sendmail-8.13 & procmail as an MDA. Now as our mail users are increasing I need to put up mailbox quota limit for every user. I have gone through the search engine but could not found any effective help to configure mailbox quota with sendmail & procmail.
So my question is, where do I put .procmailrc? An examples I found on the net has the procmailrc in the users mail directory, but there are no user mail directories on the sendmail server. It is used purely to relay mail to the Exchange server.
I am trying to set up mutt with fetchmail and procmail on server space that's not mine. I have access to /home/myusername but not to /var/spool/myusername. Everything seems to work well, but I have no idea where fetchmail (or procmail) is dropping off my mail.
Is it possible to have procmail make a decision based on the content of a attachment? My situation is the following, I dailty receive a email from a server on which a backup job of a Progress database is run. This job e-mails the results of the backup in an attachment, based on the result I would like to change the header of the message stating that the backup finished successfully or not.
We use procmail to reformat and filter email messages sent from many lead capture websites where the clients enter their reply email address manually.When we receive the message at our application we send a welcome email, and receive back the Undeliverable Email message where the clients entries are invalid, but I would like to be able to kill messages with undeliverable email addresses on our mail server before they are delivered to our application.I have found discussions on filtering masqueraded addresses, but since the IP of the sending system is not related to the entered client's email address, this does not appear to help. I would think that it should be able to query the email server to identify if the address is valid.
Built an MTA/LDA Slackware Server and seperate MDA (Dovecot 2.2) Slackware Server. Used the slackwiki Sendmail TLS SMTP-AUTH guide for the MTA/LDA Server.
http://www.slackwiki.org/index.php?t...TH&redirect=no The ../cf/cf/sendmail-slackware-tls-sasl.mc config file has Procmail sorting as: FEATURE(`local_procmail',`',`procmail -t -Y -a $h -d $u')dnl
I don't understand the arguments ($), but know the -Y forces mbox. The /var/mail directory is hardlinked to where ever the spool directory is. I want the Dovecot MDA server to use NFS or UNFS to grab user's mail from the MTA/LDA Server. Problem is the hardlink. Can't nfs share a hardlinked directory.
Is there a way to change the MTA sendmail mc config file above to have LDA promail send to /home/mail, so I can nfs that directory? And preferably in MAILDIR format? BTW: I can't find any procmailrc config file on this Slackware Server. I should have all the settings in my /etc/mail/sendmail.cf config.
I have Postfix and Spamassassin setup on Ubuntu Server 9.10. The mail is working perfectly. Spamassassin is correctly marking messages as spam. My problem is with the milter and procmail. On past servers I was able to reject spam based on score via the spamass-milter. For whatever reason I can not get it to work. I have also tried with procmail, again, it does not work. Here are the relative lines in their respective config files:
I am setting up rsyncrypto to create a backup of my user directory. I read that to exclude directories I need to exclude with find and pipe to rsyncrypto.
I am trying to exclude all .svn directories from getting encrypted and synced.
Here is the find command I'm using. I don't see any .svn directories in the output:
I have a bash script that I want to import in to Python, mainly just to see if I can or not. However in the script I do use some piping of commands into sed to trim it down to what I need. When I tried doing it with the os.system() call, it didn't work. The exact error is
kernel 2.6, slackware 12.0mkisofs 2.01If I do 'ls --help|more' all's well. 'mkisofs --help' outputs its help screen, and I can use Shift+PgUp/PgDn to scroll through it. But I can neither pipe it to more or to less, nor redirect it to some file. more is simply ignored. Less, gets into less but only the last screenful is seen. Redirection, i.e. 'mkisofs --help>john.txt' produces an empty file (size= 0).
New to ubuntu and shell scripting in general... currently I stored some data into a text file. Right now, I would like to output the data from the text file and store it into a variable. Here's what I have so far:
READ_FILE=$(cat $FILE_NAME)
This definitely works and READ_FILE has the necessary data. However, this command will trigger an output to std output and I will see data on the screen, which is not what I want. I tried:
cat $FILE_NAME | $READ_FILE
and various other variants of this. It does not output to std output but neither does anything gets stored into $READ_FILE. I tried:
cat $FILE_NAME >> $READ_FILE
and it arrived at an error of "ambiguous redirect".
Let's say I have a bash script called log.sh. In this script, I want to read in input from a pipe, but I also want to know the command used to pipe input into me. Example:
tail -f /var/log/httpd/error | log.sh
In the shell script, I want to know the command tail -f /var/log/httpd/error.
I want to attach an analog camera to an old linux computer and directly pipe the /dev/video0 to another computer, where I can use it as a device again (so /dev/video0 should go to /dev/remote0, for example)
(Reason for doing this is that the computer does not have enough power to encode the video)
Is that possible? I've seen people can pipe the data directly from the device over ssh into mplayer, but I need to have some sort of reference point for Zoneminder.
I am sure this has been covered before, however I do not know which terms to sue for searching for this, so I will try and explain it.
I have a program that I run at startup to connect me to my work VPN, specifically the Cisco VPN client. When running the program, it prompts me for my username and password. I would like to be able to automate the login process by piping the username and password into the program everytime it starts up (username and password cannot be passed as arguments to the program)
Something like echo username | echo password | vpn_script
