Re: [xmail] Trash Can

2012-04-16 Thread Bart Mortelmans
 Where on earth did you find this documented? 

It sort of makes sense. Documentation mentions that, if mailproc.tab
exists, every line in it will be processed. And you actually need to put
MAILBOX in it in order to put an e-mail in the mailbox (if
mailproc.tab exists...). Most often, if you don't use MAILBOX, you
will be using REDIRECT or something else. But documentation doesn't
say that some sort of default beheaviour will apply of mailproc.tab is
empty. So by not mentioning such a default it somehow does document the
/dev/null behaviour :-)

Bart Mortelmans

 It is important to note that the mailproc.tab should exist (but be
 empty). Not having a mailproc.tab will default to mailbox.

 For example, when we send out emails for a newsletter, we want the

 in aliases.tab I have:

 xmailserver.comTAB*junk...@xmailserver.com

 But I do not want the XMAIL server to even store this email since it
 will not be picked up ever by an email client and I do not want
 these messages taking up disk space in some queue file or directory.

 Anybody have an idea on how to either accept the email into a black
 hole
 or reject the email outright.

Bart, thanx for the reply.

I guess the ultimate documentation is source code, but who wants to root 
thru that when there are 10 million other fires I need to put out.


Cheers,

Marco
