Processing Contents of an Email [recomendations please] ?
G'Day people,
I often get daily "report emails" for various services. For example, "Exchange
Backups Success or Failure". However, these emails contain a stack of
information about servers I do not manage (bec they are managed in a different
state) and I am only interested in my servers that I manage.
My question: Is it (or how is it) possible to have "a process" sift through the
contents of these emails and only let them slip into my INBOX if
and only if they contain the servers that I manage ?
Is this a job for procmail ?
An example.
Below is the contents of an email. I don't care about any of the
hosts in this email except for those that start with ^STL. I would like to
get rid of the other crap and just see lines that start with ^STL.
