Hi,
To recap: I had a directory full of messages in Maildir format which I
needed to deliver onto the person who should have received them but who
had stopped checking their mail prematurely.
Thanks for all the suggestions.
I took a look at a couple of them. The Perl suggestion I got seemed
sound, but I don't know Perl and it didn't seem to me to be worth the
effort of learning it in order to do what I wanted to do. Of course, the
suggestion could just as easily translate to some other language, but I
also felt that there ought to be some pre-existing solution to this.
Formail was also suggested, but I couldn't see at a glance how this was
going to help me.
What I ended up doing seems too easy, and probably has some glaring reason
why it's a bad idea. But it worked for me at least.
for i in *
do
cat $i |sendmail -G -f <my_email_address> <recipient_address>
sleep 5s
done
I used -f because I wanted any delivery problem reports to come to me
instead of the original sender. I used -G because it looked like
something I should be using, not because I fully understood what it did or
if it was necessary.
Geoff.
