In response to my own email, I thought of an idea ... What if there was a new command for the "bofh" file called "goodfrom"? If a sender matched a "goodfrom" line, then this sender would be accepted and no more "bofh" processing would take place. With this proposed command, I could implement the functionality I desire (quoted below) by making my "bofh" file look like this:
goodfrom [EMAIL PROTECTED] goodfrom [EMAIL PROTECTED] goodfrom [EMAIL PROTECTED] ... etc. ... badfrom @mydomain1.com goodfrom [EMAIL PROTECTED] goodfrom [EMAIL PROTECTED] goodfrom [EMAIL PROTECTED] ... etc. ... badfrom @mydomain2.com ... etc. ... I know that this would be a Courier enhancement, and therefore it would not be implemented without a lot of forethought and discussion ... so what do you folks think of this idea? > [ NOTE: this is a repost of an earlier message of mine ] > > I'm a user of Courier 0.38.1 under FreeBSD 4.0. > > I'm trying to set up a variation of BOFH filtering under Courier. > The following pseudo-code describes the filtering logic that I'd > like to implement: > > FOR each address "addr" within the 'From' and 'From:' headers: > > IF domainOf(addr) IS a valid domain for my system > AND useridOf(addr) IS NOT a valid user/alias for that domain > > REJECT email > > In other words, I want to reject all email which purports to have > been sent from a domain hosted on my system, but for which the > userID of the sender's stated address is NOT a valid user ID or > alias on my system. > > This seems to go beyond the capabilities offered by the command set > that's used within Courier's "bofh" file.
