fetchmail + pgp

[trololo]

Hi, I'm trying to fetchemails from an IMAP account,

so, the /var/mail/otrs file is created and if I do this:

Code: Select all

cat /var/mail/otrs |  perl otrs.Console.pl Maint::PostMaster::Read

a single HUGE ticket is opened, with all the bodies from hundreds of email. am I missing something? perhaps I'm using a wrong format for mail?

each email as a file or separate stream must be parsed individually.

Thank you, well it's not very intuitive from the documentation

do you know what method would be best to achieve this?

[crythias]

I'm not entirely certain how to address this within this forum. There are ways to make your mailbox *not* be a single file, but that's a scope outside of OTRS.

[trololo]

yes, I believe Maildir is the answer. I'm looking into it

I use this solution, it's still on staging server but seems to be working fine for my needs

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash

#fetch new messages only
/usr/bin/fetchmail -k;

#break the inbox in several messages and pipe content to the worker
cat /var/mail/otrs | formail -ds   /usr/bin/perl otrs.Console.pl Maint::PostMaster::Read
