the following archives outgoing mail daily, easy to modify for monthly
archival:
% cat /mail/box/andrey/pipefrom
#!/bin/rc
rfork e
ramfs
TMP=/tmp/pipefrom.$pid
datum=`{mdate}
fileto=/mail/box/$user/sent/$datum
test -e $fileto || {touch $fileto; chmod +a $fileto}
cat > $TMP
cat $TMP >> $fileto
echo '%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%' >> $fileto
# collect upas/send options
options=()
while (! ~ $#* 0 && ~ $1 -*) {
options=($options $1);
shift
}
# collect addresses and add them to my patterns
dests=()
while (! ~ $#* 0) {
dests=($dests $1);
shift
}
# send mail
upas/send $options $dests < $TMP
%
you need to mkdir /mail/box/$user/sent for this to work...
mdate is a very simple program that prints the date in a format that's
easily sortable:
% cat $home/src/cmd/mdate.c
#include <u.h>
#include <libc.h>
void
main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
Tm *t;
USED(argc, argv);
t = localtime(time(0));
print("%4.4d-%2.2d-%2.2d", t->year+1900, t->mon+1, t->mday);
exits(0);
}
%
one problem with this scheme -- the you can't use upas/fs on the
sorted emails (they have different format than the one in your inbox).
I haven't bothered to fix it, though a bit of sed-ing would suffice.
