Programming :: Perl - Save An E-mail Attachment On Disk Keeping The "&" Character - No "%26"
Feb 25, 2010
I'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.
My script collects information and writes it to a xls file and should mail it across. 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.
use MIME::Lite; $msg = MIME::Lite->new( From => 'xx', To => 'xx',
I have ubuntu 10.04 on my HP Compaq laptop, and use evolution mail. Is there a way to delete an attachment I received, while keeping the rest of the body of that mail?
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]
Part of a perl script I am writing need to change the character at an index to upper case. Now i am new to perl and i am having some trouble getting it to do it. In c++ i would do something like
Code:
Now from what i understand the same thing is possible in perl using regular expressions. But i cant get it to work.
I am trying to make a random sentence generator in perl. So far I can loop it x times to make a fixed quantity of words, but I don't want to do that. Or I can let it go on until I hit ctrl-C :/
I want to have it so that when it reaches a word with a sentence terminating punctuation mark it stops.
My attempt to do that was with:
This is doing the woooosh text until ctrl-C thing...
Now however I am not sure how I can cut off everything after the punctuation mark (when it exists).
I am an avid user of gmail. Recently I have been receiving some important e-mails, and I want to download only those e-mails from that specific person to a folder.
Im creating a perl script that will be sending out mail to mailing-lists, but im not getting it to work. Its no problem getting the script to send mail to regular mail addresses, but it doesnt seem to handle to send mail to mailing lists. Im using the Net::SMTP perl module.how to send mail from a perl script to a mailing list (and not just regular mail addresses) ?

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..
Sendmail isn't sending mail for some reason and keeping it in the Queue. I attemped to flush them but it deferres the connection to the server in which it is trying to relay the message to. I have checked to see if there is a DNS error or anything like that. I attemped to flush the messages through webmin.
This is the result.
Code:
I am not finding anything in the logs to let me know their is an error. I can ping the mail servers that it is trying to send to. Now it has started delaying when ping MX servers. So I knew something was starting to mess with it. I have checked the /etc/hosts. It is correct. The server isn't black listed. Mail to root just gives me.
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

New Ubuntu user here switched from Windows to Linux. I finally was able to install a program that allowed me to forward my pop3 to Evolution mail so that I have easy access to my emails. However, once I ran the Perl script for fetchyahoo, it asked me what the path was on the system for my mail spool or mailbox. Where exactly is my spool or mailbox for Evolution so that I can get my Yahoo! mail into the client? I have the free version of Yahoo, so I am trying to use fetchyahoo in the hopes that I can circumvent Yahoo's no-pop policy for free users. Found a mail location that I was able to get Evolution's mail client to look for emails in. Still having nightmares getting fetchyahoo to run properly, however. This is a mildly infuriating process.
I have a script that writes the following type lines to a file. The lines include some html tags. Here is an example:<p>Total = 5</h2></b></center>I want to keep the <p> tag, but remove the ending 3 tags. Sometimes the line can have a 1, 2, or perhaps a 3 digit Total. So I could have a Total = 125.Anyway, after the removal of the ending tags the result would be:<p>Total = 5There are some lines in the file that end with </h2></b></center> that I want to keep. These lines looks generally like this:
<p><b><center><h2>Events Summary for Sun May 02 2010</h2></center></b>
As you can see I am using sed to change the beginning and end of lines to make a very simple web page.The file actually displays ok in a browser with the extra tags on the end, but it is just sloppy work to have these unneeded tags in the output file.
I 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?
Was told that I need to use Javamail for a project to send mail rather than using "mail" or "mailx". Has anyone here done this?Any pointers or sites you've used and can recommend?
My problem is this:I have a number of directories, all containing files of different name lenghts, including letters, numbers and possibly spaces. I want to recursively rename all of these files, so that only the _last_ 5 digits (not counting the extension) remain. In other words: I want to cut off all but the last 5 digits and not touch the extension.
I've tried to read up on tr, rename (perl version), sed, cut etc. and browsed through some threads here, but so far couldn't quite figure out how to do it.
If someone could point me to the right (standard) CLI tools and syntax.
I have a server with a domain running and im trying to resolve the mail server but i can't see where to start. I use OpenSuse 11.2. Basically, for starting, i want postfix to send incoming emails to a php script or perl. for outgoing emails i guess that i could use php mail function and i will see what else to have. I configured the dns. I do a dig.mydomain.tld MX and i get the following:
