procmail formail anonymous re-mailer for my very expensive two-way pager?
"(my personal e-mail address)" = jerry@somedomain.com
I'd like to send an e-mail from my RIM950 two-way pager to my personal e-mail address (it's on a RH-9 Linux server), and have a shell/procmail/formail script change the headers to: 1. "From (my personal e-mail address)"; 2. "To: " whatever's in the first line of the body of the message, formatted like "To:someone@somewhere.com" (without the quotes); and 3. Finally, send the body of the message - minus the first line and a following blank line (so I don't have to disclose my pager e-mail address and end up getting spammed on the device that costs me by the character). It's sort of a simple, anonymous re-mailer for my very expensive two-way pager. Any suggestions? I really don't quite understand formail. |
I don't know about formail. I would just write a perl script and have the mail piped to it. The program then sends the mail to the actual recipient.

How do you do that, Davis? I don't know how to write perl.

I have adapted this from a script I already had but haven't tested it:
Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl |
Well, David, it doesn't quite work. I can see how it might,. But, not understanding perl is a problem.
What are these words for? "started" "read" Am I suppoed to put them in the message body or something? Jerry. Quote:

Also, I use sendmail (RedHat 9.0). I pick up the incoming mail using procmail and pipe it to your program.

No you shouldn't need those lines. Can you post an example message you sould send (including headers) then I will take alook for you (will probably be tomorrow)

Please excuse the paging company jerks. They, naturally, have spelled my last name incorrectly.
The following is an actual message sent to eanon@secure800.com. I grabbed it from the /var/spool/mail/eanon file and pasted in here for you to look at. ================================= From jgilils@imcingular.com Wed Jul 2 12:26:55 2003 Return-Path: <jgilils@imcingular.com> Received: from mailrelay3.bellsouthips.com (mailrelay3.bellsouthips.com [198.138.100.112] (may be forged)) by localhost.localdomain (8.12.8/8.12.8) with ESMTP id h62HQth5008456 for <eanon@secure800.com>; Wed, 2 Jul 2003 12:26:55 -0500 Received: from gleam.imcingular.com (gleam [198.138.100.75]) by mailrelay3.bellsouthips.com (8.11.7+Sun/8.9.1) with ESMTP id h62HRSF16363 for <eanon@secure800.com>; Wed, 2 Jul 2003 13:27:28 -0400 (EDT) Received: (root@localhost) by gleam.imcingular.com (8.8.8/SCA-6.6) id NAA19233; Wed, 2 Jul 2003 13:27:53 -0400 (EDT) From: <jgilils@imcingular.com> (JERRY GILELS) To: eanon@secure800.com Subject: I have a headache from too much formail Urgent: Y Message-Id: <15332076.1686275841@imcingular.com> Date: Wed, 02 Jul 2003 13:27:53 -0400 To:davidross@somewhere.com Dear Dr. Ross: This is a sample of a message sent from my pager to eanon@secure800.com.

Try changing the line:
open(MAIL, "|/usr/lib/sendmail"); to open(MAIL, "|/usr/lib/sendmail -t"); |
Well, David... It works from the command line when I cat this message into it:

Try making your .procmailrc file read:
Code:

Thank you so very much for your help. I actually found the answer myself. Yes, it was in the procmailrc. All I had to do was dot-slash eanon.pl:
| ./eanon.pl Again, that you very much. How's the heather? Jerry. Quote:
