This should be no problem... Be aware that although the documentation would have you believe that the .msf files are there strictly for performance and are otherwise disposable, they actually store some unique meta data - at least with TB version 3.x and earlier, and for local folders. For example, if you delete your .msf file, you will lose any tagging you had set. Even doing something as seemingly innocuous as moving your local mail store to a different file system (path) can throw TB off ad cause the meta data to be lost.

This should be doable using a regexp_table[1] or pcre_table[2], with a file containing a line like (untested): /_re...@mymail.com/ re...@mymail.com and then in main.cf set alias_maps or virtual_alias_maps to regexp:/path/to/file. 1. http://www.postfix.org/regexp_table.5.html 2. http://www.postfix.org/pcre_table.5.html -Tom -- Tom Metro Venture Logic, Newton, MA, USA "Enterprise solutions through open source."

I would take the approach of running Perltidy[1] on both, followed by diff or other text processing of your choice. (For example, once you have methods formatted consistently, a simple grep can list all the methods in a file.) dynamically generated methodsThis isn't perfect if your two modules differ radically, as you can have , or an implementation that is spread across multiple modules using inheritance. 1. http://perltidy.sourceforge.net/ > Is there a way to do this *in code* *in Perl*?

Using an OO framework like Moose avoids this, but that doesn't help you if the code you are analyzing doesn't use it. OO in Perl 5 is "glued on" rather than native, unlike Perl 6, and this becomes evident when you start introspecting objects. > I was also reminded that I (still) hate Perl. Perl makes easy stuff convenient, and hard stuff possible.

Re: [Discuss] Postfix Wildcard email forwarding
I don't recall the details offhand, but one possible strategy would be to usea catchall alias to pass the mail to a script, and then have the script reinject the message into postfix. I recall seeing this strategy described as one possible way to configure spamassassin for postfix. I think the important word to include in your google search is "reinject".

[Discuss] sshd logging question
Sorry if this is an RTFM question. Every night our NY office connects in to our backup server. I have a script that checks the status of the most recent backup as well as those connects, but I would like to be able to track the time the NY office disconnects. The NY office is using rsync to connect through and ssh tunnel. A while back there was a case where they were not actually transferring any data.

[Discuss] Postfix Wildcard email forwarding
Hi all, I google and couldn't find any answer about how to configurate the postfix to forward wildcard emails to anther email account. I cannot use catchall account because I have 3 seperate email accounts to deal with different bounced email purpose. I tried the alias and didn't work. That's what I would like to do: _re...@mymail.com --> re...@mymail.com _nore...@mymail.com --> nore...@mymail.com xxx_s...@mymail.com --> s...@mymail.com Any input or suggestion is appreciated.
