Well shouldn't I want to do that so that people can write back to me
without having to confirm?
If I send an e-mail to someone, most likely I will want to leave the
door open so they can reply. So if I use bare=append, and it
automatically puts their address in my whitelist, then when they reply,
they won't be confronted with a confirmation request.
Since writing the last note, I added =append to the end of the last
line in my filter and it does add the address to my whitelist. Here is
what my outgoing filter looks like now:
==========================================================
# Mail to myself will be bare and not appended to the whitelist
to [EMAIL PROTECTED] bare
# Mail to whitelist and wildcards will have tags set so that
# bounces can come back to me
to-file ~/.tmda/lists/whitelist tag envelope dated=10d from bare
to-file ~/.tmda/lists/wildcards tag envelope dated=10d from bare
# Outgoing confirmation mail should not be added to whitelist
to [EMAIL PROTECTED] dated
# Catch-all for addresses that are not already on the whitelist
# so that bounces can come back to me, and adds them to the whitelist
to * tag envelope dated=10d from bare=append
==========================================================
^^^^^^^
So now, if I send mail to an address on my whitelist, bounce messages
can come back to me with no problem, and the sender sees the bare
address... If I send mail to an address NOT on my whitelist, bounce
messages can come back to me, the sender sees the bare address, and
their address is added to my whitelist.
I'm just trying to figure out if doing it this way is a bad idea for
some logical reason that I'm not seeing. Ultimately, the goal here is
to end all the spam. Had I not read section 5.4 of the FAQ I probably
would have fallen into that trap with accepting all mail from
MAILER-DAEMON or <>. I'm glad I picked up on that.
