Hello,
I did this recently with postfix.
These are my notes:
[add to /etc/aliases]
support: "|/home/support/support.py"
[add to /etc/postfix/virtual]
t...@thesupport.com support
* then run newaliases
And my script looks like this:
#!/usr/bin/python
import sys, time, email, email.Message, email.Errors, email.Utils, smtplib,
os, socket, random
from datetime import date
from email.Iterators import typed_subpart_iterator
from time import sleep
def get_charset(message, default="ascii"):
"""Get the message charset"""
if message.get_content_charset():
return message.get_content_charset()
if message.get_charset():
return message.get_charset()
return default
# Taken from here, with thanks -
http://ginstrom.com/scribbles/2007/11/19/parsing-multilingual-email-with-python/
def get_body(message):
"""Get the body of the email message"""
if message.is_multipart():
#get the plain text version only
text_parts = [part
for part in typed_subpart_iterator(message,
'text',
'plain')]
body = []
for part in text_parts:
charset = get_charset(part, get_charset(message))
body.append(unicode(part.get_payload(decode=True),
charset,
"replace"))
return u"\n".join(body).strip()
else: # if it is not multipart, the payload will be a string
# representing the message body
body = unicode(message.get_payload(decode=True),
get_charset(message),
"replace")
return body.strip()
logfile = open('/home/support/support.txt','a')
raw_msg = sys.stdin.read()
emailmsg = email.message_from_string(raw_msg)
# Extract database Fields from mail
msgfrom = emailmsg['From']
msgto = emailmsg['To']
msgsubj = emailmsg['Subject']
msgbody = get_body(emailmsg)
# Write a log file in /tmp with a record of the e-mails
currtime = date.today().strftime("%B %d, %Y")
logfile.write(currtime + "\n")
logfile.write("From: " + msgfrom + "\n")
logfile.write("To: " + msgto + "\n")
logfile.write("Subject: " + msgsubj + "\n")
logfile.write("Body: " + msgbody + "\n\n")
logfile.close()
