maildir | ruby library for reading & writing messages

You state "This is not the correct directory, it should be /var/vmail/nostalgicmail.com/brad". Your (helpfully supplied) config contains,

I solved it passing the mail attribute

With your shown samples, please try following awk code. Look for string which you want to search and exit on its first existence after printing needed value.

It seems that (from your examples) the rows do not contain any parentheses except their start and end characters. So you can search for one quotation mark ', and a number of letters and/or digits, and one quotation mark ', and than ).

To do this;

• Open Replace window in Notepad++ by using ctrl+h shortcut
• From Search Mode section select Reqular expression
• Write '[a-zA-Z0-9]*?[-,_,.]*?[a-zA-Z0-9]*?[-,_,.]*?[a-zA-Z0-9]*?[-,_,.]*?[a-zA-Z0-9]*?'\) to Find what box
• Write '\) to Replace with box
• Click Replace All button.

This works if user names consist of letters or digits and _, -, . at most 3 times.

Be Sure that you have a copy of original file as a backup. And also be aware of that the regular expression that we use may find unrelated parts if any row contains closing parentheses except end of it.

I've found a solution:

I need to set in main.cf

I found it! In /etc/postfix/helo_access.pcre, there was this regex pattern:

/.*\.co$/ DISCARD Unauthorized-2015-240

which matched the message in the logs:

Helo command Unauthorized-2015-240

So I added regex to allow that specific domain:

/.*o1.ptr3680.wellable.co$/ OK

then reloaded Postfix and the emails were received upon trying again.

> is not syntactically a valid header character, so I doubt you can persuade formail to treat it as one.

Try writing a simple sed or Awk script to escape it instead.

If the >From is always the first line of each file, try

No, you can't override Maildir's filename format, not least because it's prescribed to be in a particular way for interoperability reasons. The format is guaranteed to be robust against clashes when multiple agents on multiple hosts concurrently write to the same message store. This can only work correctly if they all play by the same rules. An obvious part of those rules is the one which dictates that the host name where the agent is running must be included in the filename of each new message.

The Wikipedia Maildir article has a good overview of the format's design and history, and of course links to authoritative standards and other primary sources.

If you don't particularly require Maildir compatibility (with the tmp / new / cur subdirectories etc) you can simply create a unique mbox file on each run; if you can guarantee that it is unique, you don't need locking when you write to it.

For example, if you have a tool called uuid which generates a guaranteed unique identifier on each invocation, you can use that as the file name easily;

The syntax for the "from" address is incorrect:

$mail->setFrom('no-reply at example dot com', 'website registration');

you need to use a valid email address, such as:
