Hi all,

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.
I've added an example attachment to this post.
I hope there is some procmail guru out there who can help me.

Regards,
Cor van den Berghe

'man procmailex' tells you that a recipe starting with egreps the message body for a string:
and 'man formail' says to use "-a field name" to add a header field to a message so yes, this seems possible.
Of course it would be way easier to modify the backup script to provide a useful subject line or add a header based on the processes exit status...

Thanks for your reply, I'll give it a try as soon as possible.
And your'e absolutely right, it would be a lot easier to adjust the sending script and I will definitely see if if I can change it, but I thought that it might be easier to try it on the receiving side.

Cor.
