Running Mattermail as a procmail filter

[guyou]

Hi,

Do you think it is possible to evolve mattermail in a way that we can run it as a procmail filter?
Doing this way, no need to run the soft permanently, it is just run when a email arrives in the expected account.

Hi @guyou!
I never worked with procmail before, how could this work?
Maybe using command lines argument?

$ mattermail --email mailfile --channel "town-square"

As far as I know, procmail pipe email to standard input of the sub-command. So, I imagine the perfect option would be something like --stdin. Do you think it is possible to hack mattermail this way?

As I don't know how to do such change, if you create a dedicated feature branch with such change, I can give it a try and keep you informed.

PS: sorry I certainly missed the notification 😞
