Quick script to parse incoming mail and do a post with the content as JSON data.
The work flow is quite simple. The script reads the mail mime message from STDIN, parses the data and makes a POST call with RAW JSON to the url (passed as command line argument).
Example usage (command line):
cat mail.eml | python mailtojson.py -u https://dev.url/autoreply/handle.phpExample usage (postfix aliases):
mailtojson_autoreply: "|/nethosting/mailtojson/mailtojson.py -u https://dev.url/autoreply/handle.php"json:
headers:
header_key1: value
header_key2: value
