Notification when user sends email

[Nathaniel Dell <nd...@setcorporation.com>]

Is it possible to receive a notification when a user sends a emai to anyone
in the company? I need to implement something like this.

Help would be greatly appreciated!!

Will this do the same thing?

Hello,

You will need to modify it where I am extracting the username part of the
email address from the To: address.  That is
where you will want to examine the From: address instead.  Note that I am
altering the subject to insert the original
username in front of the subject so that messages in the bigbrother account
can be sorted by their original recipients.
 Note that this recipe will need to be in /etc/procmailrc so that it is
processed for all incoming messages.

Hope this helps.


SHELL=/bin/sh
LOGFILE=/var/log/procmail.log
TODAY=`date +%Y-%m-%d`
#VERBOSE=yes

# forward a copy of all incoming messages
:0
* ^TO_*@mynosydomain.com
* ! ^X-Loop: mynosydomain\.com
{
# extract subject
  SUBJECT=`formail -cxSubject:`
# get the To: address without comments
  :0h:
  CLEANTO=|formail -cxTo:
  # username portion
  :0:
  * CLEANTO ?? ^\/[^@]+
  {
    TO_USER=$MATCH
  }
# insert X-Loop header
  :0fwh:
  | formail -A "X-Loop: mynosydomain.com"
# deliver the original
  :0c:
  ${DEFAULT}
# alter the subject
  :0fw:
  | formail -i "Subject: [$TO_USER] $SUBJECT"
# deliver the copy with the altered subject
  :0:
  ! bigbrother@mynosydomain.com
}

This sounds like exactly what I need. Any pointers to where I can find
documentation on how to do this? 
Thanks for all your help on this!

Hello,

Yes, it can be done fairly easily using procmail.

We have a client that has a copy of every incoming email forwarded to
another account.  My personal objections to Big
Brother aside, it works nicely.  Modifying that recipe so that it fires only
when the From: address is foo@foo.bar is
trivial.

Sounds like a job for swatch or logsurfer.

These tools are designed to watch your logs for events matching a regex
and trigger a script (such as sending an email) when a matching line
appears.
