Courier already has a big-brother option. Check it out in etc/courierd before you proceed. If you are going to test a filter, setting an ARCHIVEDIR is a convenient way to debug control files. Anyway, keep in mind that the filter is not told if the message is incoming or outgoing: it must examine the control file and the environment to make its own decisions. > [...] > What's easier? Learning perl (which would be useful anyway) to the point I > need or writing a filter in C? I did learn (some) Perl. Nicely documented on debian systems... but Vromans' pocket reference is helpful. You have to learn how to download and install modules, and you'll discover a new world. Done that, Perl is much more cryptic than C and every time I have to use it I need to re-squeeze my brains. However, if you can afford to spend several days teaching yourself Perl, I'd recommend you do so. > What about a bash script? Can I put a bash script in the filters directory? > Can I put any kind of executable in there? It is difficult to write a bash script that behaves correctly. Take a look at courierfilter.c and the example filters provided. Additionally, there is a forking C-written filter at <http://www.tana.it/sw/avfilter/>. If you are in a hurry, you may be better off adapting a bare filter interface from one of those examples and executing a shell script from there. That way you get the best from both. > And what about Java (let alone performance)? Java : Perl = Heaven : Hell. As the former is so easy, formally correct and incredibly prolix, the latter is more tempting.

Append it to the control file(s) or else issue an independent sendmail of the mail file. ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
