I plan on eventually implementing that. I want to give users the option to receive notices by email only from their registered address, or from any address. I'd determine the laconica user either by forcing all random aliases unique, or by appending or prepending the username. I personally want to be able to post arbitrary stdin from the mail command (grep -i error /var/log/messages | mail -s `hostname` [email protected]) and I want to be able to post from whatever email account I'm currently logged in at. In my mind I could also forsee multiple people wanting to post under the same identica alias, or one person wanting to delegate to another if only temporarily. What better way than a trivially revocable random email alias like the one Laconica already provides. Further, using the 'sender' of an email to in any way identify the human that send said email is poor design, as the 'sender' is in no way guaranteed authentic. _______________________________________________ Laconica-dev mailing list [email protected] http://mail.laconi.ca/mailman/listinfo/laconica-dev
