[rt-users] sendmail with e-mail

[Jeff Ballard]

I have a handy script to take a MBOX file and resend it.  As root:

------ Begin Included File

#!/usr/bin/perl
# (c)2001 Jeff Ballard <ballardATengr.wisc.edu>

$DESTINATION = "your_rt_address\@your.site";

while(<>) {
        if ($_ =~ /^From /) {
                $first++;
                open (FILE, "| sendmail $DESTINATION");
                #open (FILE, "| cat");
        }
        print FILE $_;
}


------- End Included File

(extra $_'s added for clarity).

Its run by:

./resend_mbox.pl < mboxfilename

Now, granted, if you have 30,000 messages, it could be slow, but its an option 
nevertheless.  I use it for when people leave, but forget to forward their 
mail.  I have them set a forward, then run the resender on it.  In the popular 
MUA's (eg Eudora), they look at the headers of the original message to get the 
date it was sent.  I don't think RT will (so all of them will probably start 
at 0sec old).

Regards,

-Jeff
