How about this? Even more off topic! But so far this seems to work for me. Kmail "could not write lockfile" when reading the mbox, but "FCNTL" worked, whatever that means :) Considerable room for improvement I'm sure, but in principle?
Suggestions welcome :) Gaute /usr/bin/sendmail: #!/usr/bin/python import mailbox import sys import email from time import gmtime, strftime mbox = mailbox.mbox('/var/mail/root', factory=None, create=True) msg = email.message_from_file(sys.stdin) msg['From'] = 'r...@localhost' msg['Date']= strftime("%a, %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S +0000", gmtime()) mbox.add(msg)
