Is there a new version of FAQ. I've read the one that comes with qmail 1.03 and it doesn't say anything about this kind of mail filtering. >(or copy your mailaddress to >the To: field---very tiring) Just reply to the mailing list, I'm subscribed :). >In any case, for a general rewriting, you will find the mess822 package by >qmail's author helpful. > >If you want to do an adhoc rewriting, you can use reformail of maildrop, but Thanks I'll have a look at mess822 :). >first read the man pages for dot-qmail and qmail-command to understand why >your .qmail-ppp-default line does what it does and not what you want. I did RTFM (Read This Fine Material) :) >From "man 8 qmail-command": ---------------------------------------------------------- <*snip*> qmail-local will, upon your request, feed each incoming mail message through a program of your choice. When a mail message arrives, qmail-local runs sh -c com- mand in your home directory. It makes the message avail- able on command's standard input. WARNING: The mail message does not begin with qmail- local's usual Return-Path and Delivered-To lines. Note that qmail-local uses the same file descriptor for every delivery in your .qmail file, so it is not safe for command to fork a child that reads the message in the background while the parent exits. <*snip*> ---------------------------------------------------------- It says I get a message on stdin, but it doesn't say what to do with it after processing; I've expected that I must process it and write it out on stdout. But that doesn't seem to be the case. I think it only scans the .qmail-ppp-default and it runs my filter with a message on stdout and it writes the original message to the ./pppdir/. Is there any nice way how to make qmail write the modified message to the ./pppdir/ ? How should I now make qmail deliver what my program holds in memory to the ~alias/pppdit/new. Will I have to do the delivery myself ?? best regards, Rok Papez, Student at Faculty of Computer and Information Science, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia.
