Re: [vchkpw] accept selected mails
Hi Payal, Thanks for the reply. Yes, I know about .qmail files but the problem how to *drop* unwanted mails. As I said: Read the man pages. From the qmail-command man page: [...] EXIT CODES command's exit codes are interpreted as follows: 0 means that the delivery was successful; 99 means that the deliv ery was successful, but that qmail-local should ignore all further delivery instructions; [...] Doesn't ignore all further delivery instructions sound like something you need? :) $ cat .qmail-yourfilter |here-is-a-script-that-exits-99-if-the-sender-is-invalid [EMAIL PROTECTED] Also should i just check the From: field or is there anything else I should check for (against the database, maybe using egrep) That entirely depends on what you want to do.

* Jonas Pasche [EMAIL PROTECTED] [2003-03-15 07:35]: Hi Payal, I am using vpopmail + qmail on a test system. Now for user [EMAIL PROTECTED] I want to accept mails only from email addresses given in file accept_only.dat. The rest of the mails from any other email address should be dropped/deleted without any notice. Can someone please give on hints on writing such a script? man dot-qmail man qmail-command Should be a simple two-liner .qmail file; the first line with an |if expression that checks $SENDER against your file and exits with an appropriate exit code, and a forward rule to a defined Maildir in the second line. Thanks for the reply. Yes, I know about .qmail files but the problem how to *drop* unwanted mails. I can check the mails against a sample.txt file and if match is found redirect it to ./Maildir/. But how to drop the mails otherwise? Also should i just check the From: field or is there anything else I should check for (against the database, maybe using egrep) Warm regards, -Payal -- Visit GNU/Linux Success Stories www.geocities.com/rpayal99 Guest-Book Section Updated.

You can use the `validate-sender` program from my qblue package to accomplish this. If you want to deliver to a regular Maildir you could use the following: |if except validate-sender ~/Maildir/valid.dat; then maildir ./Maildir/ ; fi The `maildir` script is part of the safecat package. I am running vpopmail 5.3.9 with --enable-make-seekable=y and the following also works for me: |if except validate-sender /var/vpopmail/domains/standblue.com/valid.dat; then /var/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' /var/vpopmail/domains/standblue.com/cwright/ ; fi These examples deliver the message if the sender address is listed in the valid.dat file, and drop it otherwise. The validate-sender program relies on $SENDER, which can easily be forged, so this should only be used to do trivial checks. You can find qblue at the following URL: http://projects.standblue.net/software/qblue/index.moto Good luck, Cory -- Cory Wright Stand Blue Technology http://www.standblue.net/
