E-mail to Folder

I want to create an e-mail account that will upload attached files to a specified folder. What is the best way to do this?

I have the following script (from http://tech.jeffri.es/2010/09/automatic-ripping-and-saving-email-attachm... )

#!/bin/bash

# Version 1.0 of script to save mail attachments
# Requires ripmime


INSPECT_DIR=/var/spool/mailrip/son4r/
TARGET_DIR=/home/son4r/public_html/dropbox/
SN="son4rdropbox:"

# Exit codes from <sysexits.h>

EX_TEMPFAIL=75
EX_UNAVAILABLE=69

# Clean up when done or when aborting.

trap "rm -f in.$$ *textfile*" 0 1 2 3 15

echo "$SN Starting scan of incoming email"

# Start processing.
cd $INSPECT_DIR || {
     echo "$SN $INSPECT_DIR does not exist"; exit $EX_TEMPFAIL; }

cat >in.$$ || {
     echo "$SN: Cannot save mail to file"; exit $EX_TEMPFAIL; }


# Now invoke ripmime to process the temporary file

echo "$SN Invoking ripmime"

/usr/local/bin/ripmime -v --prefix -i in.$$ || {
     echo "$SN Ripmime failed"; exit $EX_TEMPFAIL; }

NUM_SOURCE_FILES=`ls -1 *.pdf | wc -l`

if [ $NUM_SOURCE_FILES -gt 0 ]; then
        for f in *.*
        do
            TARGET_FILE=${TARGET_DIR}$$_$f

            echo "$SN Setting perms and copying $f to $TARGET_FILE"
            chmod 775 $f
            mv $f $TARGET_FILE
        done
else
        echo "$SN No files to copy"
fi

# We DON'T re-inject the message back into postfix via sendmail!

exit $?

and have virtualmin set to pipe dropbox@son4r.com to this script (as "apply filter file") in the mail aliases for that domain.

I keep getting the following no matter what permissions I set on my folders

Suggestions?

Howdy,

The error you're getting is that the file "/var/spool/mailrip/son4r/dropbox" doesn't exist. Does that file actually exist on your system?

Of course it does eric. :P

root@son4r:/var/spool/mailrip/son4r# pwd
/var/spool/mailrip/son4r
root@son4r:/var/spool/mailrip/son4r# ls -lah
total 12K
drwxr-xr-x 2 postfix postfix 4.0K Sep 20 15:28 .
drwx------ 3 postfix postfix 4.0K Sep 20 15:16 ..
-rwxrwxrwx 1 postfix postfix 1.2K Sep 20 15:28 dropbox

I've also tried setting the owner/group permissions to root and to the username that owns that virtual server.

If I pipe the mail directly to the file instead of as filter, i get a permission error. "Permission Denied" but it does recognize the file that way.
