Chat script from Dbmail

Hi

I need to write a chat script that dials a modem attached to
my mail
server as and when I receive a mail, to a particular
account/ID.

I use MySQL 5.xx with Dbmail. Is it ok to write an 'Insert'
trigger for
the table 'dbmail_tofield' , which will call the external
'chat' program?



regards

Nataraj

A simpler way to do this will be adding a second alias with
'dbmail-users' that pipes out to a shell script.

First you have an alias from your email address to your
username:

  dbmail-users -c nataraj -s natarajsancharnet...

Also add a forwarding address for that email:

  dbmail-users -x natarajsancharnet... -t
"|/foo/mychatscript.sh"

The message will be delivered both your mailbox and piped
out to the
script. Read through the dbmail-users man page for more
details, like
whether you want to use ! or | to launch your script.
