No prob!
Though, I have now stumbled upon a possible drawback in the way add_header
works. I decided that since I was rewriting some of my ACL lines to work
(and make more sense in the flow of reading), that I'd rewrite the rest of
them too... until I stumbled upon this one:
deny message = You must be authenticated to send from
<${sender_address}>
set acl_m10 = ${sender_address_domain}
sender_domains = +domain_virtual : +domain_aliases
set acl_m10 =
!authenticated = *
I looked at it for a second and realized why I was setting acl_m10 twice,
and specifically in the order everything appears:
domainlist domain_virtual = ${lookup mysql {SELECT `host` FROM
`domain` WHERE `host` = '${quote_mysql:${if def:acl_m10
{$acl_m10}{$domain}}}' LIMIT 1}}
domainlist domain_aliases = ${lookup mysql {SELECT `alias` FROM
`domain_aliases` WHERE `alias` = '${quote_mysql:${if def:acl_m10
{$acl_m10}{$domain}}}'
LIMIT 1}}
A pretty little hack, quite possibly "stolen" from someone else on the list
to help me overcome $domain issues. Of course, if I try to move the message
line around I suppose I could end up with:
deny !authenticated = *
set acl_m10 = ${sender_address_domain}
sender_domains = +domain_virtual : +domain_aliases
set acl_m10 =
message = You must be authenticated to send from
<${sender_address}>
Or if I didn't have the authenticated restriction, I suppose I could even
start it off on the "set acl_m10 = ..." line, but perhaps there might be an
ACL that someone has where it's just not possible to rewrite it in such a
way that would work with the way add_header functions?
I dunno - my personal opinion is that I'd prefer to have add_header function
*just* like message did *IF* the point to using add_header is to ultimately
abolish the use of "warn message = ...". However, if the actual intended
use of add_header is to allow the unconditional addition of a header to a
message, then perhaps calling "warn message = ..." depreciated behaviour
should be revoked, and both methods kept for the future.
