[hobbit] Backup exec

[Ralph Mitchell]

I've actually done that, though I no longer have access to the system where
it sits...  You're right, it is easy.  Set up an alias in /etc/aliases:

   mail2xymon: "|/usr/local/bin/mail2xymon"

then run "newaliases" to 'compile' the db file for sendmail.  The script can
be any language you're comfortable with, including Cobol or Fortran if
that's what floats your boat.  All you need to know is that when it starts
up, the email appears on <stdin>.  You get headers first, in no particular
order, probably including "From:", "To:", "Subject:" and "Date:".  For
example:

     Date: Thu, 19 Nov 2009 14:58:35 +0200
     From: "Nikesh Maharaj" <NMaharaj at tcta.co.za>
     To: <hobbit at hswn.dk>
     Subject: [hobbit] Backup exec


A blank line separates the headers from the body of the email, which can
contain just about any form of text.
