Email to PushBullet notification

Email 2 PushBullet

Email to PushBullet notification

This simple script allows to redirect mail input(from postfix, for example) from a certain mail address to PushBullet notification. Useful to send pushes from sources which are able to send email only.

Example usage

Lets imagine that we want to redirect all emails sent to [email protected] to your PushBullet account(and therefore to your mobile devices, browser excensions, etc) Keep in mind that instructions below were tested on Debian 6 with python 2.6 So, thats what you should do:

Step zero: setup and configure postfix for domain example.com and other prerequisites

Bla-bla-bla

Step 1: create shell script

First, create shell script which will contain email2pb call and an API key. If you will directly specify python script with a API key in aliases file - this'll be a major security hole. So our script will be something like this:

#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/python /var/spool/postfix/email2pb/email2pb.py --key YOUR_PUSHBULLET_API_KEY

Let's name it...umm... /var/spool/postfix/email2pb/email2pb And make it executable:

chmod +x /var/spool/postfix/email2pb/email2pb

Why there? My example was tested in Debian, and postfix's home dir on Debian 6 is /var/spool/postfix Rememer, postfix should be able to acces your script.

Step 2: add mail alias

Open /etc/aliases file and append a line there:

push: |/var/spool/postfix/email2pb/email2pb

Save the file and execute newaliases command.

Step 3: test it

Send email to [email protected] and, if it didn't work, check /var/log/mail.log

Thats it.

I'm using postfix 2.11.0 on Ubuntu 14.04

Here's the mail.log:

I'm not familiar with Python programming so I don't know about a workaround for this.

Any ideas?
