Hi,

I´m just playing around with sieve-extprogram but it didn´t works like I think. I want

a. execute a shell script that get the subject as parameter

my try:

require ["fileinto","variables","envelope","vnd.dovecot.execute"]; if header :contains "Subject" "123test" { execute :input "${1}" "exec-test"; keep; }

and

require ["fileinto","variables","envelope","vnd.dovecot.execute"]; if header :contains "Subject" "123test" { execute "exec-test" "${1}"; keep; }

The shell script will create a file with $1 as text. But I didn´t get any output - the created file is empty

What is ${1} supposed to contain? Only with the ":matches" and ":regex" match types those numeric variables are assigned.

b. later the complete mail should piped to the shell script

require ["fileinto","variables","envelope","vnd.dovecot.execute"]; if header :contains "Subject" "123test" { execute :pipe "exec-test"; keep; }

This should (as http://hg.rename-it.nl/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole/raw-file/tip/doc/rfc/spec-bosc... described) hand over the complete mail to the script But I don´t know how I handle the complete mail with a shell script? I think the mail will not hand over as a parameter to the shell script, right? But how should I store the mail into a file or should I pipe it through a sed command line (and so one) into a shell script?

Hope someone could bring some lights into my darkness :)

The mail is passed as the standard input of the script. Lots of online resources should tell you what that means.

Regards,

Stephan.
