Hi guys, I am a ruby nuby, and am trying to learn ruby while setting up
a craigslist-like site.
So instead of going all out with ActionMailer, right now I am trying to
start very simple with perl and am having difficulties.
I read this document:
http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/HowToReceiveEmailsWithActionMailer
and modified my main.cf, transport, and master.cf.
The line added to my master.cf looks like this:
#stuff for rubymail 2006.04.16
rmail unix - n n - - pipe flags=FR
user=nobody argv=/usr/local/bin/mailtest.pl ${user}
I’m assuming the message should be passed to my program as STDIN, so
something very simple like
the following, should write the recieved message to a file:
#!/usr/bin/perl
open (OF,“>>/var/log/rmail.log”);
print OF “newmessage\n”;
while (<>) {
print OF $_;
}
print OF “-------------------------------------------------------\n”;
Now when I send mail to [email protected], mailtest.pl
is invoked and data is
written to /var/log/rmail.log. However only the following lines are
written:
newmessage
I can trigger my script from postfix, but I don’t get the contents of
message.
Obviously this is more a postfix question than a ruby question, but
many of you Rails gurus may
have seen this before.
Thanks for any help,
Rohit
