Top Forums Programming Users to submit email for ftp creation Post 303000564 by rbatte1 on Friday 14th of July 2017 11:49:50 AM

If the above line is added into /etc/aliases and a command newaliases is run, then any mail arriving at your server for sftp will cause the script /path/to/script to be run with the email as standard input.

You can do something dull with it, so the script could just be as short as:-
Code:
dd of=/var/spool/requests/$(date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S).$$

.... which will write the email to a timestamped (and process id) spool file that something else could be watching for.

You would still need to be able to read through the email and decipher what the request was, but then you can create the account and send them a reply fairly easily.



Does that help?
