Hi,
The notifyd documentation is apparently in error...
The notifyd(8) page says:
mailto
Email the notification. This method can ONLY be used in a
Sieve 'notify' action as it requires a mailto: URL to be
specified as an :option.
Here are the results when I tried to use it as originally defined.
Syntax error:
notify :method mailto
:option mailto:me;example.com?subject=sieve+mail+notification
:message You got mail ;
Syntax is okay but doesn't work:
notify :method mailto
:options mailto:me;example.com?subject=sieve+mail+notification
:message You got mail ;
notify :method mailto
:options [EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=sieve+mail+notification
:message You got mail ;
The notification is sent and then pingpongs between the mailserver and the firewall;
because neither host will accept
to=[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=sieve+mail+notification.example.com
Sort of works:
notify :method mailto
:options mailto:me;example.com
:message You got mail ;
The notification is sent and is received; however, the To header is:
To: mailto:me;example.com
Seems to work:
notify :method mailto
:options [EMAIL PROTECTED]
:message You got mail ;
By examining the behavior of notifyd, the original definition seems to be incorrect
because the notify daemon is not parsing the :options value as a mailto: URL as is
stated; but simply passing the value straight to sendmail.
If that is the case, the man page should say:
mailto
Email the notification. This method can ONLY be used with
the Sieve 'notify' action because it requires specification of
a destination address. The destination address is given as an
option. For example this sieve script will send a notification
to [EMAIL PROTECTED] whenever mail is received:
require notify ;
notify :method mailto :options [EMAIL PROTECTED] ;
I haven't tried a string list in the :options so I don't know if one will work
as expected. Something like:
notify :method mailto :options [[EMAIL PROTECTED],[EMAIL PROTECTED]] ;
