Ok. Yet another attempt at an rmail program. This one's more flexible than
the last one I was experimenting with.
Url: ftp://ftp.mira.net.au/unix/mail/qmail/rmail-0.1.tar.gz (size ~5K)
Appended is a fragment from the README.
It's only beta software though I've been using it with some success on one
of our systems for a while.
If you try it, let me know please.
Regards.
================================================================
This perl5 program is a complete replacement for rmail. It is
especially designed for qmail but may well work in a sendmail
environment.
The purpose of this program is to convert envelope addresses to
FQDNs. In plain english this means the ! addressing on the rmail
command line and the "From " address line in the first line of
data passed to rmail. Addresses in the body of the mail are
not touched by this program.
...
Recipient Address processing
----------------------------
This program has a number of built-in rules for converting ! style
addresses to FQDN addresses. It does nothing with addresses that
are already in FQDN format. The one special processing in this
area is to strip off leading names if they match the uucp name
of your system. Thus youruucpname!ibm.com!tom will be converted
correctly to tom@ibm.com
Sender address processing
-------------------------
Sender address processing is much more complicated because the "From
"lines generated by various uucp/mail implementations vary so
wildly. In many cases the details in the "From " line are insufficient
to generate a valid return address.
To get around this problem. rmail reads in the "From " line processing
rules from pattern files. These pattern files are simple text files
that can be tailored to suit your own set of "From " line
requirements.
