Re: [CentOS] Receive, process and send email

We wish to do the following:

1. receive an email with an attachment
2. process the email body to get some information from it
3. send an outbound email to an email address based on the information

derived from step 2. The email will include the attachment received in step 1

I'm not sure where to start with this one so any suggestions would be appreciated.

Directing received email to a program can be done either with a sendmail alias that pipes to a program or a procmail recipe, depending on whether the address is a real system user or not.

If you want to program in perl, look at MIME::tools to parse the inbound copy's body and attachments and perhaps Mail::Sender to reassemble and re-send.
