A ${pipe} operator would be useful. Until it's added, I use the
following approach:
* Create a daemon that reads Exim spool and executes the program and
pipes the message to stdin.
Exim speaks with the daemon using ${readsocket}.
${readsocket{/tmp/pipehack.sock}{$message_id\n\
$local_part\n\
$local_part_suffix\n\
$domain\n}{10s}{}{1}}
The above will return the exit code of executed program.
I copied the source to
http://km.krot.org/code/pipehack.pl.
Note: I have split_spool_directory unset. If you have it set, you'll
have to modify the spool_message function a bit.
Warning: if the format of the spool files ever changes, you'll have to
modify the spool_message function yet again. :-)
Bye!
