[Tutor] python email forwarder via postfix

[Liam Clarke]

Just poke around email.Parser, it's a standard library.

Here's some code of mine - 

for msgnum in range(len(names)):
        f = email.Parser.Parser()                   
        msg = f.parsestr(msgdata)                 
        
That should get you a parsed RFC 822 compliant email.

To parse from a file as opposed to a string, you just use

msg = f.parse(msgdata)

Good luck,

Liam Clarke
