 |
|
Hi, I want, when I receive new email, execute a command. I want smbclient to send me a message.
I thought to be smart and add this line in /etc/maildroprc:
| Quote: | | xfilter "echo "You have got mail" | smbclient -M tim" |
But then I get this error message:
| Quote: | | status=deferred (temporary failure. Command output: maildrop: error writing to filter. /usr/bin/maildrop: Unable to filter message. ) |
Then I get the message but the mail is not delivered. Is there another way to achieve what I want? |

OK. I found out myself. I know what was wrong.
It was supposed to be like this:
| Quote: | | 'echo "You've got mail from $SENDER" |smbclient -M hostname' |
It really works well now! |
