Wieste,
Sorry for the slow follow up. To make sure that I'm on the same page,
Exiting:
master.cf:
smtp inet n - n - - smtpd
-o content_filter=jbaddrfix:dummy
jbaddrfix unix - n n - 10 pipe
flags=Rq user=filter argv=/etc/postfix/custom/jb_mail_processor.py --from
${sender} --recipient ${recipient}
main.cf:
virtual_alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/custom/virtual_alias
So for all incoming email I want to pass it off to the jb_mail_processor
script. This script internally breaks the email down into a list of unique
emails based upon the --recipient map values passed in from smtp to jbaddrfix.
Inside of the script file we re-inject it back into the process via
"/usr/sbin/sendmail -G -I -f @sender -- @recipient"
Instead of using the /usr/sbin/sendmail I should run it directly back into the
submission/smtp as a new email? If so, what's the best command to do that, and
best way to log the queue id of that new email being submitted?
Sorry, not trying to be dense here, I've just always done it using sendmail and
haven't needed tracking until now.
