Set up an incoming_control_filter to detect the job
lp:
:...
:incoming_control_filter=/path/to/filter
filter:
#!/usr/bin/perl -p

Your original email ended up in my Spam Collection Sack, and this
is not the best place for it. This could be due to that fact
that you sent it directly to me, or you sent it to the LPRng mailing
list and you were not subscribed to it. Or you might be trying to
beat the list security and were sending to lprng-owner and expecting
to spam the list :-)
If you are subscribed to the mailing list, then you might have
sent it from a site or address different than the one that you
registered with. If the latter is the case and you want to post
from this address then send me, Patrick Powell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>,
email describing the problem with:
LPRNGMAIL
in the SUBJECT line so my junk mail purging system will not toss
it into the bit shredder (we shred our email for security reasons).
In fact, if you have any problems with the list, send me email
with LPRNGMAIL in the header.
The best way to get answers is via the LPRng mailing list, which
I peruse on a fairly frequent basis.
To subscribe, send mail to:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
with the single line:
subscribe
in the body.
This reply is sent by a semiautomatic system, and the real
person may be drinking coffee at the present time...
so my apologies for the one-size-fits-all message.
