Re: [courier-users] Throw-Away EMails

[Fred Drueck]

Would it be sufficient to do something with the .courier-aliases?  Tell
your users to create something like:

.courier-forwardtodevnull

containing:

| cat > /dev/null

or whatever you want.  I've occasionally done this myself for mail I don't
want to receive.

I would probably do it through entries in the database db. But if you
already have "something" editing the aliases file, why not have it run
makealiases, too?

I don't know if this helps you, but my setup for my personal mail and
toss-off addresses is quite simple, and just works.

I have a ~/.courier file which is unrelated to my toss-off addresses,
and does a number of things with filtering, but it's beside the point,
and my toss-off addresses don't depend on it.

If I want to create a toss-off (temporary) address, I just touch the
file ~/.courier-xxx ("xxx" can be anything) to create an empty file
with the given name and mail to fmouse-...@fmp.com will be delivered to
fmo...@fmp.com. The .courier-xxx file is an empty
file, just a marker telling courier that fmouse-...@fmp.com is a
legitimate address. If I delete ~/.courier-xxx then email to fmouse-xxx
@fmp.com gets bounced as an unknown address. I don't have a .courier-
default file, nor do I send emails through /usr/bin/preline in the
.courier-xxx files.

As far as the backscatter bounce is concerned, it's probably a local
delivery problem. Check your mail log prior to the entry you quote and
see if you can determine the reason the backscatter is generated. See
the thread at
http://courier-mail-server.10983.n7.nabble.com/Weird-backscatter-bounce-td4856.html

Best thing is to have an utility synthesize a throw-away address and insert it
directly in the users database, possibly along with some annotation.  Rather
than develop that, I subscribed to trashmail.com.  The feature I had little
desire to develop and maintain is the firefox addon that implements the "paste
disposable address" command.  It is too convenient not to use it.

I asked them about getting their functionality on my server, and Stephen 
replied:

Using its own server is better to have the full control. The only solution
I see for that would be to install a full clone of TrashMail.net with its
complete API. I was thinking already about that to propose this as
business solution. [...]

[courier-users] Throw-Away EMails

[Michelle Konzack]

Hello,

what is the easiest way to allow users to creat throw-away emails?

I do this somehow over aliases, but when I  change/delete  one,  I  have
always to run makealiases.  I do not really like  the  idea,  to  run  a
bashscript from cron all 5 min which check the users aliasses files  and
execute makealiasses if a changement has been detected.

Thanks

Re: [courier-users] extension to email/localname

[Michelle Konzack]

OK, now I have to answer myself...  :-/

It works only for local accounts and not for aliasses.

Is there a way to get this running with an aliass?

[courier-users] extension to email/localname

[Michelle Konzack]

Good day,

I am sitting on my line because I have EMails like

linux4michelle

and use extensions like

linux4michelle-foo
linux4michelle-bar

and it just work.  The Account of my businesspartner is the same  style,
BUT she can not create any working extensions.  The logfile say only

250 Backscatter bounce droped
success: delivered: backscatter bounce droped
status: success

Now I am puzzeling arround, WHY ist works for me since ages, but  for  a
new accout not.

Both accounts have the

~/.courier
~/.courier-default

files where each contain the same line of

|/usr/bin/preline /usr/bin/procmail

I should note, that MY extensions are NOT in any aliasfiles.   Also  the
mailinglist use the same style.

Any suggestions where to look for?

Thanks in avance
