In an article in the linux gazette I found the following piece of code: -- #!/usr/bin/perl -- $address = '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'; -- while(<>){ -- if(/^From: /){ s/<.*>/<$address>/; print; last; } -- print;} -- while(<>){ print; }
After naming it /usr/local/bin/mail-filter and changing it's permissions (chmod +x ) it was meant to be inserted into /etc/exim.conf as follows: -- remote_smtp: -- drivers = smtp -- headers_remove = "sender" -- transport_filter = "/usr/local/bin/mail-filter" -- end The problem is that it doesn't work and I'm forced to use -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] bcfrF which works but changes the address of internal mail as well. Can anyone see any problems with this code. I don't know much about perl and was wondering if the code contained any obvious (to perl coders) errors. It gives the following when I source ( . /usr/local/bin/mail-filter ) it -- bash: =: command not found -- bash: /usr/local/bin/mail2: line 3: syntax error near unexpected token `while(<>){' -- bash: /usr/local/bin/mail2: line 3: `while(<>){'
