Automatically Scan E-Mails

As the OPSWAT Filescan engine has extensive E-Mail (msg, eml/rfc822) support, it is possible to automatically monitor and scan new E-Mails of any number of E-Mail inboxes. The basic idea is to setup fsBroker to scan a “mail directory” and auto-forward any newly found E-Mail to one or multiple application servers.
Steps to take:
- Setup a postfix server on Ubuntu (https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-and-configure-postfix-on-ubuntu-20-04). Make sure to use the “maildir” format, so that each E-Mail is stored in its own rfc822 file.
- Create an automatic BCC to your central “Scan Mailbox” (e.g. scan@yourdomain.com)
- Create an input source in broker, which points to the “Scan Mailbox” and hard deletes any processed files:
in1.path.Unix=/home/user/Maildir/newin1.path.Windows=in1.pollFrequency=5in1.priority=100in1.hardDeleteInputFiles=true- Configure the "E-Mail Notification settings" section for automated notification
