Web-Based Front End

Does anyone have suggestions for other good web based front ends? I have
only experimented with ProcBuilder
(http://www.uvm.edu/opensource/?Page=procbuilder.html). ProcBuilder
doesn't do exactly what I want though.

WG: Upgrading from mbox to maildir

Thanks for the tip Jeff, it works fine now.
I put "DROPRIVS=yes" in /etc/procmailrc.

Blacklist via mail folder

I heard of this but I can't seem to find the email that tells how to do
this.  I want to put emails in a mail folder (file) and use that to
check for unwanted address.

You can check ma Blacklist-Filter at:

<http://devel.debian.tamay-dogan.homelinux.net/bash/usr/bin/tdmail-bl>

Add it to your

  ____( '/home/michelle/.procmailrc' )__________________________________
 /
| :0 fw
| | /usr/bin//tdmail-bl blacklist 
| 
| :0
| * ^Subject:.*(*****BLACKLIST*****)
| Blacklist/
 \______________________________________________________________________

This will use the blacklist

$HOME/.procmail/LIST_blacklist
                     ^^^^^^^^^
        first parameter of 'tdmail-bl'

But you can add a second parameter like

You need to be a little more specific about what addresses you want
to grab from there.  Sender?  Putative From:?  Bogus addresses in
the To: or Cc: lines?  Or do you mean you want to grep all that cruft
for the sender addresses in newcoming mail?  That seems to me bound to
lead to false positives.  E.g., if your friend Moe writes you but he
was Cc'd on spam, then he'd be blocked.

So I assume you mean the senders' addresses, essentially the Envelope-From
addresses that would appear in the initial From_ line.  So why would
you want to save ll the rest of the headers and bodies of these emails?
It seems like a screwy approach to me.

Nevertheless, coding it is easy enough.  Fore example, looking at
my recent cache of last-100 spams, I grep the From_ lines for the
string "cole" (chosen kind of at random) like so:

 formail -IReply-To: -fzrx To: -s < myspam | grep cole

Here's what I got:

  6:53pm [~/Mail] 363[1]> formail -IReply-To: -fzrx To: -s < myspam | grep -i cole
 colemanmcPhersonwz <at> msn.com
 nicole_hargrove_tp <at> abm.uu.se
 coleen.bowers_ln <at> 0.1.5.2.8.6.9.5.1.4.1.tpc.int

Re: Blacklist via mail folder

The address I want is the sender and from I guess.  Which is suggested
to go by?

Multple actions per recipe (eg. bounce AND deliver locally).

I'm having a difficult time getting procmail to both deliver a message and
send a bounce back (autoresponder).

So far my only solution is to deliver everything local in .forward and
send to procmail.
eg:
	#cat .forward
	"|IFS=' '&& exec /usr/bin/procmail -f-||exit 75 #autoreply"
	\autoreply

This is not optimal.

I've setup a new .procmailrc with the following:
#cat .procmailrc
LOGFILE="$HOME/procmail.log"
LOGABSTRACT=all
VERBOSE=on
:0
* $ ?/usr/bin/test -e $HOME/autoreply.txt
{
        :0
        * $ !^From:.*$LOGNAME <at> domain\.com
        * $ !^X-Loop: $LOGNAME <at> $HOST
        * $ !^FROM_DAEMON
        * $ !^FROM_MAILER
        | ( formail -r -A"X-Loop: $LOGNAME <at> $HOST"; cat
"$HOME/autoreply.txt" ) | /usr/lib/sendmail -t -oi
	Maildir/
}

You need a flag here, telling procmail to continue processing.  Off
the top of my head, I believe this is the 'c' flag, which would make
your first line:

  :0c

I have a recipe that autoresponds to those who send me Word docs via
email attachment, telling them it's inappropriate and refers them to
Richard Stallman's web page that discusses it; then my script proceeds
to deliver the message to me as normal.  Let me know if you want me to
post it.  I also have a script that does the same for winmail.dat
attachments - available on request.  These scripts are similar to what
you're looking for.

I don't know if you normally have to use the .forward or not (if procmail 
isn't set up as the LDA on your host, then you're stuck with invoking it 
that way), but you should revert back to whatever you needed to just invoke 
procmail.

The 'c'opy flag is notably absent (and only needs to be on the first recipe 
here - if you put it on the second one, then you'd have an EXTRA copy in 
your system mailbox as well).  Thus, the recipe operates on the ONE copy of 
the message, and when it's been piped to formail, it is considered to be 
delivered.
