Hi,

just planning out how to manage my mail with TMDA.

I don't like the tagged/dated address ideas, and don't
particularly fancy changing how my e-mail is sent (Postfix is
complex enough).

Seems to me most (all?) the information I need on who has been
sent e-mail can be garnered from the Postfix syslog output.

All one would have to do is match lines with the same Message id
containing;
 from=<myemail>
 to=<address to add if new> + status=sent

Status sent is to ensure that relay attempts or spam 'apparently
from self' don't succeed.

A simple filter on the end of a syslog line should do the
business. In theory it could build a database for all senders on
one server (assuming it knows or can map outgoing e-mail
addresses to Unix users).

Only obvious fly in ointment is it has to spot confirmation
e-mail addresses....

Still has anyone tried anything like this rather than the
tmda-ofmipd, would seem to take the TMDA whitelist of recipients
away from the critical path of sending mail.

Anyway tmda-ofmipd seems the obvious way to go for the moment.

 Simon
