Software :: Procmail - Filtering Out Emails With Attachments
Apr 11, 2011
I am trying to filter out attachment emails using procmail. I have tried this:
Code:
#Config:
SHELL=/bin/sh
PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/bin
MAILDIR="/var/mail/root"
LOGFILE=/var/log/procmail.log
LOGABSTRACT=ALL
VERBOSE=ON
:0
*^Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64$ {
| echo $LASTFOLDER }
[/code]
As you can probably guess, this line "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64" appears when emails come with attachments, but the result of this filter is:
Code:
procmail: No match on "^Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64"
procmail: Skipped "| echo $LASTFOLDER"
procmail: Assigning "echo"
procmail: Skipped "| $LASTFOLDER"
procmail: Assigning "LASTFOLDER=/var/mail/root/msg.OFT"
procmail: Opening "/var/mail/root/msg.OFT"
procmail: Acquiring kernel-lock
procmail: Notified comsat: "root@0:/var/mail/root/msg.OFT"
From root Mon Apr 11 01:23:37 2011
Subject:
Folder: /var/mail/root/msg.OFT 26051
The result showed as if there was no match, futhermore, the bash code that I am trying to run:
echo "$LASTFOLDER" seemed not to be ran as bash? And does anyone know how I can test my procmail filter on some testing platform sandbox so I don't have to send a bunch of emails everytime I change the file and waste time and disk space testing new filters?
when I first started with tbird version 3.0.5, under that version everything worked fine and attachments etc. downloaded, but tbird was automatically upgraded to 3.1 since then attachments don't download and pictures don't appear in emails.What do I need to do to correct this?
Running Postfix 2.6.1 on Slackware 13.0.I noticed that if I send an email with a large attachment(namely more than 500 KB) from another computer using this postfix server as an smtp server, it takes up to an hour to send it.It's almost like postfix is configured to send large emails later with a lower priority.The client computer and postfix server are within a GIGABIT LAN so upload 500 KB isn't an issue.
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.
I've spent pretty much the whole night trying to figure out how I can achieve the following: If a certain Keyword, say [key], is in the subject line, then the email is forwarded to a list of people.
My recipe (now) looks like this:
Code: :0 * ^Subject: .*[key].* ! my-email@gmail.com The (verbose) procmail logfile gives me this:
[Code]....
Is my recipe wrong in any way? I pretty much copied it from available ones. It's a university server, so I'm no admin, just a user. How can I figure out whether some setting that the admin made prevents procmail from calling sendmail or whatever?
I have procmail parsing the subject line of incoming e-mail and depositing individual files in a folder that match the procmail recipe.I want to have that recipe spawn a perl script to parse the file to pull out specific information. I've googled this and found many examples but none of them work.When it finds a matching inbound message it logs it correctly in the charge.log file, writes the message in charges/new/xxx but skips the /home/rowan/billing.pl script.
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 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.
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 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 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.
at my work we have upgraded suse to 11.2, thus we also got an upgrade of thunderbird 2 to 3. When I now save attachments to our network disks it writes them as user=rw (600), and no longer as 644. I do not want to do chmod for every attachment.When creating a file by csh or bash terminal or downloading a file by firefox it does write the file as 644, which is good. Can someone please give me a suggestion of how I can solve this problem? Is there something I have to change in the prefs.js file?
I have set up a Sympa list serv server and everything is working fine for the most part. One issue that I am running into is sending files over ~580 KB in size (just a normal .txt file) are not going through. I am getting the following error. Impossible to distribute your message for list 'list-name' because of an internal server error.I have verified that my "Maximum message size (max_size)" setting in Sympa is get to 5 MB so that shouldn't be the problem. If I try sending the same .txt file after taking out a few lines, and the file size is ~530 KB, then it works just fine. Nothing is really jumping out at me in the logs either.
I was wondering how to block attachments to gmail. I am running squid 2.7 stab9 with dansguardian 2.10, users authenticated from LDAP. I have configured the POST restrictions in Dansguardian which does block all attachments to hotmail/yahoo etc etc but attachments to gmail continue to upload.
I have Internet access with Verizon Wireless and have a limit of 5 gigs per month but Mozilla Thunderbird 3.1.8 is wasting my data whenever I send large attachments. For example, when I send an attachment to somebody, Thunderbird will upload it okay but when it is finished uploading it, the message in the window then says "copying to the Sent folder" but it does not simply "copy" it, instead, it uploads the attachment all over again to the Sent folder. So the attachment was uploaded twice, once to the recipient and once to my sent folder.I am running Linux Mint 9 Isadora.Is there a way to stop this behavior?
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.
Here is what I want to do: have procmail get my mail from all of the different mail servers, and then put them in my inbox folder (I'm able to do all of this), but also have my emails sorted by domain into subfolders.So for example, procmail downloads my email, puts it into the gmail folder which is a subfolder of my inbox folder.I know how to get all of my email into the inbox folder - but not into a specific subfolder.
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:
