Hello Marty,

the file is a bit too "sanitized". Since you made all e-mail addresses
the same, I cannot guess how exactly you want to distribute the
documents to your users.
I suggest to use something like user1@xxxxxxxxxxx, user2@xxxxxxxxxxx
etc. to make clear whether the addresses are the same or different.


| case "$DEVICE" in
|
|  ttyS14) SENDTO=xxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx;;
|
|  ttyS0)  SENDTO= xxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx;;
|
|  *)      SENDTO= xxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx;;
|
| esac

Here is a bug in your shell script. The following case statement will
overwrite any SENDTO value you have set above because it has a
default(*) case

| case "$SENDER" in
|
|  *815*389*xxxx*)         SENDTO=
| xxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx;                 FILETYPE=tif;;
|
|  *61294xxxx *)           SENDTO= xxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx;
| FILETYPE=tif;;
[...]
|  *338*xxxx*)             SENDTO=
| xxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx;                  FILETYPE=tif;;
|
|  0)                      SENDTO=
| xxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx;                  FILETYPE=tif;;
|
|  *)                      SENDTO= xxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx;
FILETYPE=tif;;
|
| esac

If you set FILETYPE=tif in (nearly) every case, I suggest to do this
once before the case statement and optionally change it in some cases if
necessary.

You might want something like this:


FILETYPE=tif
SENDTO=

# first I set SENDTO based on SENDER
case "$SENDER" in

# note: there must not be a space after SENDTO=
~ *815*389*xxxx*)         SENDTO=user1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ;;

~ *61294xxxx *)           SENDTO=user2@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ;;

[...]
~ *1*605*338*xxxx*)       SENDTO=user7@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ;;

# example for a user that should get a different file format
~ *338*xxxx*)             SENDTO=user8@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ; FILETYPE=pdf ;;

~ 0)                      SENDTO=user9@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx;;

# note: I do not set SENDTO in the default (*) case.

esac

# now I set SENDTO based on DEVICE only if it is not yet set
if [ -z "$SENDTO" ]
then
~  case "$DEVICE" in

~    ttyS14) SENDTO=user10@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx;;

~    ttyS0)  SENDTO=user11@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx;;

~    *)      SENDTO=user12@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx;;

~   esac
fi


Or you could do it the other way round that you always set a specific
user for some devices and select a user based on the sender for others.
