Postfix mail categoriser

[jpadie]

Hi

I am looking to check all incoming mail for certain keywords and then to insert the mail as a post in wordpress.

The logic is this:

1. decompil the mail message.
2. concatenate the subject, headers and body and test against the keyword filter.
3. if the filter returns a matching category, insert the body as a post in that category
4. if the filter contains no matching category, iterate through the attachments and test those. stop when a keyword match is first hit.
5. once the category is known, add each attachment into wordpress and add them to the post.

I have a php solution to this but it's slow and cumbesome.

can this be done with postfix (the wordpress manipulations would be done through php)?

I have read the postfix guide from o'reilly but confess not to being much the wiser after. If someone were able to point me in the right direction for how to:

1. disassemble the mail
2. pass various bits of it to an external script

i would be most grateful!

thanks
Justin

Try this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sieve_(mail_filtering_language)

Sieve is a plugin that works with postfix that will sort mail based on keywords, such as spam, and then re-direct it to different locations. You will need to write a little script for your application and the documentation will help with this.
