I have an email where I need to edit the body. I know this is generally a bad idea, but in this case I need to do it. The email comes in automatically every week or two, and so I thought that SIEVE would be the way to go.
if header :contains "from" "theaddress@tehdomain" { if body :raw :contains "A string" { # Magic happens here } }
It looks like what I need to do is enable and use vnd.dovecot.filter to pipe the message to a script. (Er. | not vnd.dovecot.pipe)
So, if I wanted to transform the message so that the string "foobar13" was changed to "foo-bar-13"
I would add
filter :try "myfoobarfix.sh" After "magic happens here">
OK so far?
Now, what are the requirements on the executable script? Would it literally be as simple as an executable file that simply said
sed -e '|foobar13|foo-bar-13|g'
Or does it need to be a shebang script and take input on $1 and … ?
And lastly, where do the executable scripts need to be? https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dovecot/pigeonhole/master/doc/rfc/spec-bos... says "the external programs cannot be chosen arbitrarily; the available programs are restricted through administrator configuration", but no details on exactly how that is configured.
