Not really a SpamAssassin issue, but ... The procmailex man page has
half of this for the most part:
:0
* ^Subject: send file [0-9a-z]
* !^X-Loop: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
* !^Subject:.*Re:
* !^FROM_DAEMON
* !^Subject: send file .*[/.]\.
{
MAILDIR=$HOME/fileserver # chdir to the fileserver directory
:0 fhw # reverse mailheader and extract name
* ^Subject: send file \/[^ ]*
| formail -rA "X-Loop: [EMAIL PROTECTED]"
FILE="$MATCH" # the requested filename
:0 ah
| cat - ./$FILE 2>&1 | $SENDMAIL -oi -t
}
This will return the given requested file to the email sender. You can
hack it down for only the user_prefs file. You'd want another rule that
stores a message in the user_prefs file. Something like:
:0b
* ^Subject: user_prefs update
* !^X-Loop: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
* !^FROM_DAEMON
| mv -f $USERPREFS $USERPREFS.old && cat - > $USERPREFS
You could get creative and make it run multiple commands, one pipes
to the user_prefs file. The next one waits for the first to complete
then rewrites the Subject appropriately and passes to the "send file"
one above. Get a verification that the update took place correctly. :)
I should probably write up a proper version of this for work -- SA is
installed, but there's no access to the home directory on the mail server,
so I have no way to update the preferences file. Hmmm.
