Hi All, I have a MongoDB with a set of e-mails that I want to send. I want to be able to track their delivery / bounce / delayed status - plus link any replies back to the original e-mail.
I have already written a c++ service to handle incoming e-mails (by piping the incoming e-mails to my app) - which is still under development, but meeting that side of my needs. Now I'm onto the actual sending side. I've written a separate C++ service to run on the mail server to process the table of e-mails in the MongoDB (From, To, Subject, Body, etc). My original plan was to dump each e-mail to a file on disk, move to the /var/spool/postfix/maildrop/ folder, set the permissions correctly and leave Postfix to process the queue. However, so far i've been unable to get this to work: > Jun 1 22:05:29 mx02 postfix/pickup[30400]: warning: maildrop/tmp1: > unexpected EOF in data, record type 70 length 114 > Jun 1 22:05:29 mx02 postfix/pickup[30400]: warning: uid=0: unexpected or > malformed record type -2 So, I've tried to use postdrop < tmp1, however this keeps rejecting my file with unexpected EOF and malformed input: > Jun 1 22:31:15 mx02 postfix/postdrop[30871]: name_mask: all > Jun 1 22:31:15 mx02 postfix/postdrop[30871]: inet_addr_local: configured 2 > IPv4 addresses > Jun 1 22:31:15 mx02 postfix/postdrop[30871]: inet_addr_local: configured 3 > IPv6 addresses > Jun 1 22:31:15 mx02 postfix/postdrop[30871]: chdir /var/spool/postfix > Jun 1 22:31:15 mx02 postfix/postdrop[30871]: open maildrop/E312D4108722 > Jun 1 22:31:15 mx02 postfix/postdrop[30871]: send attr queue_id = > E312D4108722 > Jun 1 22:31:15 mx02 postfix/postdrop[30871]: warning: stdin: unexpected EOF > in data, record type 115 length 116 > Jun 1 22:31:15 mx02 postfix/postdrop[30871]: fatal: uid=0: malformed input The tmp file is fairly simple: > From: test <t...@dev.kamar.kiwi.nz> > To: kent <k...@kamar.nz> > Message-Id: abc1...@kamar.kiwi.nz > Subject: this is a test > > Thanks for reading. > . Is there a way to make this work - or an alternative ? I know one alternative is I can go down the socket / port 25 path - and that's my fallback plan. thanks Kent.
