  • 772

i need launch a script when receive an email with specific subject, i've try fetchmail + procmail, this my configuration

.fetchmailrc

defaults:
  antispam -1 
  batchlimit 100
poll imap.googlemail.com protocol IMAP auth password
user "[email protected]" is root here
password 'xxxxx'
ssl
mda "/usr/bin/procmail -f %F -d %T";

.procmailrc

MAILDIR=/var/mail
LOGFILE=/var/log/procmail.log

:0
* ^Subject: "Test OK"
| echo "Test" >> /var/log/test.log

When send mail with subject Test OK, i see in procmail log the lines:

From [email protected]  Sat Dec  8 18:41:16 2018
 Subject: Test OK
  Folder: /var/mail/root                             5304

But no execute the echo, any ideas? Thanks

  1. The Subject line in the log message doesn't have double quotes around it; hence, your regex didn't match.

    A better test is probably to save the entire message to a particular folder.
