Description Eddie Lania 2012-01-06 17:21:13 UTC

Description of problem: I am trying to make sendmail extract attachments from mail for a specific purpose.

I added a line to /etc/aliases:

emailorder: |"/usr/bin/ripmime -i - --mailbox -d /mnt/data/emailorder"

 and ran "newaliases" afterwards.

The program /usr/bin/ripmime is symlinked to /etc/smrsh/ripmime

When a message for "emailoder" arrives, the command seems to work an no error is reported in /var/logmaillog or /var/log/messages.
I also see no selinux denials.

However, nothing is being written to /mnt/data/emailorder.

When i manually pipe an email message containing an attachment through the same command everything works as aspected.

I also tried other programs as commands in /etc/aliases but none of them work while they manually all do their job fine.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

sendmail-8.14.5-11.fc16.i686

Sorry, i already found it: it was a permissions problem.
