# Exim filter | |
# The first line above must be exactly like that. | |
# | |
# Since Airvision2 only has a provision to send email notifications for all regions or none, | |
# we add this kludge to forward emails based on the region name included in the email. | |
# Basic steps are these: | |
# 1. Install a mail server on your ubuntu/debian box if it's not there already. (Not as hard as it sounds.) | |
# 2. Configure it to forward nonlocal mail to a smarthost. | |
# 3. Add a user account to Airvision to send notifications to the admin account on the local host. | |
# 4. Install this file (.forward) in the admin account home directory. (Must be writeable only to the user.) | |
# 5. Test | |
# Detailed instructions. | |
# 1. Type "exim4" on the command line. If the command is there, go to the next step. If not, the OS will instruct you | |
# which apt-get command to run to get it. Get the "light" version of exim4. | |
# 2. If you're using a gmail smtp server for your smarthost, follow the instructions here to set it up: | |
# https://wiki.debian.org/GmailAndExim4 You should be able to easily adapt those instructions for hotmail/whatever. | |
# Since the exim filters only look at the first 500 characters of the mail by default, and the Airvision region | |
# name is buried quite deep in a large email, you need to modify the exim4 configuration. | |
# At the end of /etc/exim4/conf.d/main/02_exim4-config_options add the line: | |
# message_body_visible = 20000 | |
# | |
# Then rerun the configuration update commands at the end of the GmailAndExim4 instructions. | |
# | |
# 3. Add a new Airvision user with the email address admin@localhost (or whatever your admin account login is) | |
# If you've already installed Airvision and the Super Administrator is a different email, don't try to | |
# change that email address. I did and I mistyped the new address and couldn't get back in. Had to | |
# completely purge my airvision installation and reinstall from scratch. Just play it safe and add a new | |
# airvision user. | |
# 4. Install this file as ~/.forward in your admin account and edit for what you want. Replace "Drivewayview" | |
# with the name of the region you want to forward to your email. And of course you put in your own email addresses. | |
# The "deliver" command just forwards the incoming email to the specified address. The "mail" command creates | |
# a new email. I use this to send a stripped-down version of the email with just the link to the video to | |
# the Prowl app on my iPhone. http://www.prowlapp.com/prowlmail.php | |
# More info on writing filters is here: | |
# http://www.exim.org/exim-html-current/doc/html/spec_html/filter_ch-exim_filter_files.html | |
# and here: | |
# http://www.exim.org/exim-html-current/doc/html/spec_html/ch-string_expansions.html | |
# | |
# 5. Testing. You can test the filter without actually sending emails by creating a test message by saving an airvision | |
# email to a file and running the command: | |
# /usr/sbin/sendmail -bf .forward < test-message | |
# | |
# The code: | |
if $h_from contains "airvision" | |
then | |
if $message_body contains "Drivewayview" | |
then | |
mail to apikey@api.prowlapp.com subject "Aircam driveway motion" text ${sg{$message_body}{.*(http.*/player/.....).*}{\$1}} | |
# forward the original email to my main email address | |
deliver me@example.com | |
