Hi, list, I have a squeezy VPS, running Postfix to handle all my mail, plus several virtual users, with which I'm entirely satisfied.
I also have a number of remote, normally unattended, locations, with dynamic IPs, containing IP cameras to keep an eye on things. I'm not able to access/change the camera firmware. These cameras send me an email if their IP changes, containing the new IP address. Up to now, I've been manually extracting the IP from the incoming mail (on my workstation), and plugging it into a nsupdate script, to update bind on the VPS, so that I can access the camera(s) from anywhere on the net. So far, so good, but what I'd really like to do is intercept the incoming email on the VPS, and automatically run a script to do the update. There's an awful lot of information about postscript on the web, even some articles that look like potential answers, but googling about has not been fruitful. In particular, there appear to be problems with priveleges. Naturally, I don't want to do anything that upsets mail delivery to the virtual users. Maybe I didn't use the right search terms. Longer term, I'll install raspberry Pis on the remote networks to automatically send an nsupdate to the server on IP change, but in the interim, I'd like to automate the manual process above. Does anyone know how to attach some sort of filter/trigger to postfix to cause a script to be run on incoming mail with particular conditions, or would anyone like to suggest a better solution?
