Re: Save email as .eml file

[bkozora <bobby@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for your help. How would I go about getting procmail to forward it? 

What I currently have is a script that connects to a free email address that
collects bounces captured from newsletters the system has sent. I'm using
IMAP to connect to the mailbox, then looping through and trying to create
the eml files. I don't know if the procmail approach would work, as I can
only access my email through IMAP (not even POP3).

Last night while examining some eml files and cross referencing to the value
imap_body returned, I was thinking I may be able to just dump that to a
file. Do you think that would work? There's a class on phpclasses that
handles bounces, but it requires eml files
(http://www.phpclasses.org/browse/package/2691.html).

Here is my code as it is now, don't know if that would help or not:

############### CODE ############### 

$imap = imap_open("{mail.messagingengine.com:143}INBOX", "**", "**");

$message_count = imap_num_msg($imap);

echo "<h3>$message_count Emails Returned</h3>";


for ($i = 1; $i <= $message_count; ++$i) 
{
	$header = imap_header($imap, $i);
	
	if (isset($header->from[0]->personal)) 
	{
		$personal = $header->from[0]->personal;
	} 
	else 
	{
		$personal = $header->from[0]->mailbox;
	}

	$eml = "date : $header->Date \n";
	$eml .= "from : $personal 
<{$header->from[0]->mailbox}@{$header->from[0]->host}> \n";
	$eml .= "subject : $header->Subject \n";
	$eml .= "to : $personal 
<{$header->to[0]->mailbox}@{$header->from[0]->host}> \n";
	
	$eml .= imap_body($imap, $i, "FT_PEEK")."\n";
	
	$messageID = imap_bodystruct($imap, $i, "message_id");

	echo "<h3>header</h3><pre style=\"color:red;\">";
	print_r($header);
	echo "</pre>";

        echo "<h3>Body</h3><pre style=\"color:red;\">";
	print_r(imap_body($imap, $i, "FT_PEEK"));
	echo "</pre>";

	$file = "../eml/".rand(1111, 9999).".eml";   
	if (!$file_handle = fopen($file,"a")) { echo "Cannot open file"; }  
	if (!fwrite($file_handle, $eml)) { echo "Cannot write to file"; }  
	echo "<h4>You have successfully written data to $file</h4>";   
	fclose($file_handle);   
	
}


imap_close($imap);



Thanks,
Bobby
