As in email [EMAIL PROTECTED] and have it automatically go into [EMAIL PROTECTED] Of course, a person could probably figure out your real email address, but in most cases you're looking at automated systems. I guess that spambots might get smart and try dropping the -whatever and +whatever extensions on some email addresses at some point... Either way, your script looks like a cool way to add a forward. Should I add it to vpopmai's contrib directory? Do you want to wait a few weeks for feedback, make updates, and then have it added? -- Tom Collins - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Vpopmail - virtual domains for qmail: http://vpopmail.sf.net/ QmailAdmin - web interface for Vpopmail: http://qmailadmin.sf.net/

I was originally doing that for myself, but found it was more difficult to turn off the compromised address at SMTP time (using the chkusr patch).

Feel free to add it to contrib. Between it being relatively simple and already using it for a couple of weeks myself, I think it's good to go. I've just updated the notes at the top to help folks with installation. -- Jeremy Kister http://jeremy.kister.net./
[vchkpw] admin forwards via email
In case anyone finds this useful: I advocate giving separate email addresses to everyone possible. Meaning if you're signing up for an account with a new site called BigFancySite.tld, i'd give them the email address [EMAIL PROTECTED] Then I'd create a forward called bigfancysite.tld and send it to my main mailbox. This is useful because it's an instant way to see who's given out your email address as well as being able to turn off the address with ease. Due to slight demand from customers I've told this to, I have created an email way to create and delete vpopmail forwards. wget http://jeremy.kister.net/code/perl/eadmin.pl chmod ugo+x eadmin.pl echo |/usr/local/script/eadmin.pl ~vpopmail/domains/example.com/.qmail-someaddress it requires Mail::vpopmail, so you might have to set that up too: wget http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/J/JK/JKISTER/Mail-vpopmail-0.54.tgz tar -zxf Mail-vpopmail-0.54.tgz cd Mail-vpopmail-0.54 perl Makefile.PL ; make ; make install you can then email [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject like CREATE VerySeCreT [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] which will forward [EMAIL PROTECTED] to the [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailbox. be sure to put your domain and secret crypt in the %secrets section of eadmin.pl. -- Jeremy Kister http://jeremy.kister.net./
