What about this approach: - insert a private mail header in every mail: X-MyAuth-Header: mysecretpassword I see no problem doing this with mutt and I am sure you could even do this with MS Lookout. - now in .courier forward the mail to maildrop - check for the existence of the header and that the password complies to the chosen one. If it does, remove the X-MyAuth-Header with reformail and process the email, otherwise bounce the message. Another one: Use a secret in the subject line: Subject: MySecretPassword ORIGINAL_SUBJECT_FOLLOWS and use maildrop and reformail to extract Subject firstly, then use sed to delete MySecretPassword and replace Subject using reformail again.
