how to integrate ripmime with .qmail

Post #1 of 8 (4855 views)

Hello,

I am using vpopmail - qmail - imap combination in my linux box (rh9). I
have one email id .. like user@domain.com and I want any mail coming to
this id will be parsed and the attachment is saved in /home/test.
I have run ripmime from shell and it worked perfectly. Thanks.
I tried to integrate the same in .qmail ( in
/home/vpopmail/domains/domain.com/user/ folder ), so that is rule is
applicable for this user only. I added this line in the .qmail file:
| ripmime -i - -d /home/test --syslog_on
This does not work, infact, the mail is not getting delivered, and
remains in the queue.
Could anyone please let me know where I am making the mistake? Also if
there is anything else that needs to be done?
Look forward to hear in this regard.

Thank you in advance.
Nir

Hi there,

> applicable for this user only. I added this line in the .qmail file:
> | ripmime -i - -d /home/test --syslog_on

I think the problem here is that ripMIME doesn't actually pipe out the mailpack again. You probably need to write a
small shell script; like

#!/bin/sh
> /home/test/mailpack.$$
ripmime -i - -d /home/test --syslog-on
cat /home/test/mailpack.$$
rm /home/test/mailpack
exit 0

I'm no qmail expert, so I may well be wrong here - perhaps someone with qmail experience can assist?

Hello Paul,

Thank you very much for the shell script, but this dint work. When I
pipe the .qmail to this shell, this creates the mailpack files, but the
actual extraction is not performed. I am not sure where I am making the
mistake.
I will really be thankful if I get some help on this.

Thanks again
Regards
Nir

I'm such an idiot - this is why I never release software later than 10pm at night.

> #!/bin/sh
> > /home/test/mailpack.$$
> ripmime -i - -d /home/test --syslog-on

should be....

ripmime -i /home/test/mailpack.$$ -d /home/test --syslog-on

Hello,

This is the test result:
the .qmail file looks like this:
| /home/test/pass.sh

and the pass.sh looks like

#!/bin/sh
> /home/test/mailpack.$$
ripmime -i /home/test/mailpack.$$ -d /home/test --syslog-on
cat /home/test/mailpack.$$
rm /home/test/mailpack.$$
exit 0

Problem is , the piped file is not saved at all, i removed the rm line
from the shell script, and saw that the file size is 0, naturally, the
there is no parsing. I wonder why the piped file is not saved.
Any idea?

Thanks & Regards
Nir

the last shell scipt I posted was wrong, this is the correct one !

#!/bin/sh
cat > /homne/test/mailpack.$$
ripmime -i /home/test/mailpack.$$ -d /home/test --syslog-on
cat /home/test/mailpack.$$
rm /home/test/mailpack.$$
exit 0
