Okay, VERP has solved the bounce problem. Now we need VERB (Variable Envelope Recipient in Body) to solve the unsubscribe problem. Basically, we need qmail-remote to merge the envelope recipient into the message somewhere. The problem, of course, is *where* to insert it. What I did for one customer is to insert it whenever a certain magical character sequence was seen. This worked for them because they could ensure that that magical sequence only appeared where they wanted it. So how do we ensure that out-of-band data (the insertion point marker) doesn't get confused with in-band data (the email message itself). In case it's not obvious what I'm getting at, imagine if you could say: -- To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] instead of the usual: -- To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- -russ nelson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://crynwr.com/~nelson Crynwr supports Open Source(tm) Software| PGPok | There is good evidence 521 Pleasant Valley Rd. | +1 315 268 1925 voice | that freedom is the Potsdam, NY 13676-3213 | +1 315 268 9201 FAX | cause of world peace.
