Question

i need launch a script when receive an email with specific subject, i've try fetchmail + procmail, this my configuration

.fetchmailrc

set no bouncemail defaults: antispam -1 batchlimit 100 poll imap.googlemail.com protocol IMAP auth password user "[email protected]" is root here password 'xxxxx' ssl mda "/usr/bin/procmail -f %F -d %T"; 

.procmailrc

PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:$HOME/bin:/usr/sbin MAILDIR=/var/mail LOGFILE=/var/log/procmail.log :0 * ^Subject: "Test OK" | echo "Test" >> /var/log/test.log 

When send mail with subject Test OK, i see in procmail log the lines:

From [email protected] Sat Dec 8 18:41:16 2018 Subject: Test OK Folder: /var/mail/root 5304 

But no execute the echo, any ideas? Thanks

Answer 1

The Subject line in the log message doesn't have double quotes around it; hence, your regex didn't match.

A better test is probably to save the entire message to a particular folder.
