Split email message with procmail

Hi,

I'm using procmail to ingest incoming messages. The goal is to split the message body into chunks and forward those to a different adddress. Here's a sample of the message body:


Code:
Group: testgroup
---------------------------------------
Host: test1.local:30200  
Type: conf
Alert: Host Down
Status: Open
Last Updated: 2013/06/13 14:11 GMT
Created: 2013/06/13 14:11 GMT
---------------------------------------
Host: test1.local:30000  
Type: conf
Alert: Host Down
Status: Open
Last Updated: 2013/06/13 14:11 GMT
Created: 2013/06/13 14:11 GMT
---------------------------------------
Host: test1.local:30500  
Type: conf
Alert: Host Down
Status: Open
Last Updated: 2013/06/13 14:11 GMT
Created: 2013/06/13 14:11 GMT
---------------------------------------
---------------------------------------
Configure alerts: Go to this URL

The trick is to extract anything between the 2 delimiters (/^Host:/ && /^Created:/) and mail them. The sample above should result in 3 distinct messages:

Message1:
Code:
Host: test1.local:30200  
Type: conf
Alert: Host Down
Status: Open
Last Updated: 2013/06/13 14:11 GMT
Created: 2013/06/13 14:11 GMT

Message2:
Code:
Host: test1.local:30000  
Type: conf
Alert: Host Down
Status: Open
Last Updated: 2013/06/13 14:11 GMT
Created: 2013/06/13 14:11 GMT

Message3:
Code:
Host: test1.local:30500  
Type: conf
Alert: Host Down
Status: Open
Last Updated: 2013/06/13 14:11 GMT
Created: 2013/06/13 14:11 GMT

Thanks for the help!

GPGMAILTUNL(1p) 					User Contributed Perl Documentation					   GPGMAILTUNL(1p)

NAME
gpgmailtunl - Encrypts an email message into the body of another email. SYNOPSIS
gpgmailtunl [options] --encrypt | --decrypt DESCRIPTION
gpgmailtunl is a filter program that either encrypts an email message using the Gnu Privacy Guard and sends it to another recipient or decrypt an email message and forwards unencrypted to another destination. It can be used to exchange emails across an open network betweeen two trusted systems. TYPICAL USAGE
This program is intended to run from program like procmail or sendmail to create an email tunnel between two systems. Of course this is not as secure as using gpg as an end user program, it may be convenient in certain case. ENCRYPTION
To encapsulates an email within another you pipe the message to gpgmailtunl. OPTIONS GetOptions( \%opt, "encrypt", "decrypt", "sign", "secret-file=s", "from=s", "to=s", "subject=s", "homedir=s", "local-user=s", "recipient=s", ) or usage; to This is the address to which the encrypted message will be sent. This is the only required fields. recipient This sets the keyid that will be used to encrypt the outgoing message. If unset, gpgmailtunl will try to find a key matching the to option. subject Sets the subject of the outgoing message. This defaults to "Encrypted mail". from Sets the From header line of the outgoing message which will contains the encrypted one. sendmail will provides a default one if this is not set. sign If this option is used, the outgoing message will be signed. In this case you should probably use to local-user and secret-file options. secret-file File from which the secret to unlock the private used to sign the message can be read. local-user The keyid of the user that should sign the outgoing message. The default user will be used if not specified. homedir Sets an alternate gpg home directory. (This is where the keyrings are stored.) DECRYPTION
To extract an email to be forwarded to the final user you pipe the encrypted email to gpgmailtunl using the decrypt switch. Once decrypted, the encapsulated email message will be sent to the original destinator of the message. OPTIONS homedir Sets an alternate gpg home directory. (This is where the keyrings are stored.) secret-file File from which the secret to unlock the private used to decrypt the message can be read. AUTHOR
