How to convert a queue file to eml ou mbox?

[Webmaster Boucinhas & Campos]

Thank very much,

I am using postfix in my MTA.

To generate the MBOX file I write the shell script below

postcat -v QUEUE_FILE 2>/dev/null | grep "regular_text:" | grep 
"regular_text: " | sed "s/regular_text: //g" > MAIL.mbox

Regards,

Rodrigo
