I have a working php script that actually intercepts the incoming e-mail from sendmail and saves it to a file.
here it is:
<?php
$fd = fopen("php://stdin", "r");
while (!feof($fd)) {
$email .= fread($fd, 1024);
}
fclose($fd);
$fdw = fopen("/test/mail.txt", "w+");
fwrite($fdw, $email);
fclose($fdw);
?>
i have never seen something like this in terms of reading from
php://stdin
is there a PYTHON version of this ?
i rather use python than php.
but this php script works fine.
sys.stdin.read() should do it
The three standard I/O streams in Python are stored in sys.stdin, sys.stdout, and sys.stderr. They normally never need to be opened, only used.
foo = sys.stdin.read(1024)
1024 for the example as it is only a chunk size when reading in the loop. I.e. the loop need not to be used in Python. One should be aware it is rather special way of using stdin. Generally, closing a stdin makes the same sense as closing the keyboard ;) The same way, waiting for eof from the keyboard does not make too much sense.
The whole script in Python:
import sys
with open('/test/mail.txt', 'w+') as f:
f.write(sys.stdin.read())
