[SOLVED] Running a script / program on successful delivery

Hi there,

I want to run a script *after* each successful message delivery. This is to implement a custom delivery notification system and other things that can't be achieved by standard means.

All I need is to run a program which takes the email address as an argument.

I can code, so if this needs developing some hook/plugin, that also is ok.

Thanks in advance.

I managed to get this done by hacking zmlogger. Couldn't run my own script by editing logswatchrc, which would have been neater. Here is what I added to zmlogger.

Code:

---

+++ zmlogger    2009-11-08 23:17:05.000000000 +0530

+        } elsif ($app eq 'postfix/lmtp') {

+              system('/usr/local/sbin/notify.sh', $email);

        } else {
            next;
        }

Is there a better way of doing this?

Unfortunately, the above didn't work out, as zmlogger is keeping an eye on /var/log/zimbra-stats.log and not zimbra.log.

The following script worked, although not the neatest way of doing it. This requires File::Tail (libfile-tail-perl on Ubuntu).

Code:

---

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use File::Tail;

my $log = File::Tail->new(name => '/var/log/zimbra.log', maxinterval => 2, interval => 1);
my $logregex = qr/^.{15} ((\d+\.\d+\.\d+\.\d+)|(\S+)) postfix\/lmtp\[\d+\]: .* to=<([^>]*)>, .* Delivery OK\)$/o;

while (defined(my $line = $log->read)) {
        chomp $line;
        if ($line =~ m/$logregex/) {
                my $email = $4;
                $email =~ s/[^a-zA-Z0-9@\._-]//g;
                system("/usr/local/bin/notify.sh '$email'");
        }
}

Seems that this is the only way to get this done. Marking "solved".
