Using normal bash tools (ie, built-ins or commonly-available command-line tools), is it possible, and how to extract/save attachments on emails?
For example, say I have a nightly report which arrives via email but is a zip archive of several log files. I want to save all those zips into a backup directory. How would I accomplish that?
I finally got E-mails fetched downloaded to local disk, now a further thing that I would like to do is to rip off the attachments to save as its original file name and extension.A E-mail like this for example:
Code:
From root Thu Apr 7 17:21:34 2011
Delivered-To: ted_chou12@tedchou12.cz.cc
Received: from pop.gmail.com [74.125.155.109]

How to configure a Debian mail server as a user send a mail with attachment maximum wight is 5 Mb.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm working on a Perl script that handles e-mails and attachments using MIME::Tools.
This script saves the attachments on filesystem, but whenever it finds an "&" (ampersand) into the filename (the filename is given by the "path" method of the "MIME::Body" class), it is changed into "%26" and then stored on disk.
To make an example, if an attachment is named "You & me.pdf", it is saved on disk as "You %26 me.pdf".
I also tried to change that char with a regexp and setting again the path passing the new (and working) value as a parameter to the "path" method, and if I print the value it is right, but on the filesystem is *always* stored with the "%26" string.
how can attachment sends through mail command in linux with mail command either with mail -s or -v option also please confirm how to download the attachments from it . and how one should knows with mail command that attachment is present with the particular mail

I tested the first part of the script which writes the excel file , it does write the excel file fairly with expected data using Spreadsheet::WriteExcel module Second part uses MIME::Lite , All I get is a mail with intended subject intact but without the attachment . Following is the code , I have googled and tried out many options , didn't go any further apart from receiving a mail without attachment.

How can I do it in bash?
I'm running a blog on posterous. Some friends of me post messages there via mail, mostly with some PDF attachments. These PDFs are generated mostly on a MAC with Word. The standard extension of these files is foobar.doc.pdf. Unfortunately, Posterous ignores attachments with the extension .doc.pdf.
So, I'm looking for some workaround. For example, I could my web server with some script, which receives these mails, converts the filenames of the attachment in some way and posts the result to my posterous blog. Therefore I'm looking for some mail processing scripts, which enable me to do so.
Working in a SW company. guys transfer their codes through email outside the company. mailserver running on postfix. Is there any method to filter mails according to contents of attachment not by file extension.

I managed to get my hylafax server nice and going, I also setup up AvantFax and Faxy to reach it from the web..What I still want to do it to send a mail from my blackberry device with a JPEG attachment, and have it forwarded as a FAX to the recipient fax machine...
I read and saw a few documentation here and there, but it is very confusing for me...
courier-faxmail seemed nice, but it conflicts with Hylafax..
Hylafax help support is unclear to me...
I'm not sure jpg attachments from blackberry are "standard" jpg, and, I have no idea how to forward this as a fax...
For what I understood, I need to have a running mail agent on my server, and a script to forward this to hylafax..
how to unblock email with attachment .zip should be all attachment through to my email i have below message when people sent me email to my domain
Warning: This message has had one or more attachments removed
Warning: (the entire message).
Warning: Please read the "Apex-Attachment-Warning.txt" attachment(s) for more information.
This is a message from the MailScanner E-Mail Virus Protection Service The original e-mail message contained potentially dangerous content, which has been removed for your safety. The content is dangerous as it is often used to spread viruses or to gain personal or confidential information from you, such as passwords or credit card numbers.
The situation is the following:I download everyday several files from a website which are always password-protected with one out of 4 or 5 different passwords.I wanted to write a bash script to extract them automatically by trying with the different passwords.The files are mostly 7z.Can anbody lend me a hand?The starting point could be sth. like:
Code:
#!/bin/bash -x
FILE=$1
[code]....
I have a bash variable where the content looks like this where ;f1; and ;f2; are delimiters:
;f1;field1value1;f2;field2 value1 ;f1;field1value2;f2;field2 value2 ;f1;field1value3;f2;field2 value3
So what I need is to extract and put into variables each combination of f1 and f2 in a loop to something like that:
#first pass of the loop I need:
f1=field1value1
f2=field2 value1
#second pass of the loop I need:
f1=field1value2
f2=field2 value2
# third pass of the loop I need:
f1=field1value3
f2=field2 value3

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have postfix setup right now and it's relying mail to our Exchange server fine. What i would like to do though is have postfix save the email that gets passed through so that if a manager deletes an email, it's easy to look through by date and find the email he's looking for. Well, I'm thinking it would be a lot easier then having to need to pull out the backup tape and try to recover one email. Does anyone know whether I would be able to accomplish this?
