Good to confirm... I checked "confirm" add-on at the Smartlist FAQ but it does not load to my browser. So I came up a simple 'rc.local.r10' to do the verifications, attached beblow. I tried some simple tests and it worked for me. May need more tests to improve. Zhiliang ps: when I copied to the mail window there are some added line breaks. I hope one can restore these breaks for tests.. #$Id: rc.local.r10,v 0.01 # # 2005/08/22 19:28:16 Zhiliang Hu ############################################################## tmpreqloc='admin/subcktmp' :0 w * ^Subject:.*\@ { FROMADDR =`formail -rtzxTo:` SUBJADDR =`formail -xSubject: |perl -pe 's/.*sub.*\s+([^\s]+\@[^\s]+)/$1/sg;s/^\s+//g;s/\s+$//g;'` SUBJCOMD =`formail -xSubject: |perl -pe 's/(.*sub.*)\s+[^\s]+\@[^\s]+/$1/sg;s/^\s+//g;s/\s+$//g;'` DATEMARK = `date +"%s"` :0 ic # "i" -- supress "writing errors" ('header/body passed to nothing' error) * ^Subject:.*sub | echo "$SUBJADDR $SUBJCOMD" > $tmpreqloc/$DATEMARK # If the same address, re-formulate a subscription mail to server #---------------------------------------------------------------- :0 * ? formail -rtzxTo: | multigram -b1 -x$listreq -x$listaddr \ -l$reject_threshold $tmpreqloc/$DATEMARK | (formail -I"From: $FROMADDR" -I"Subject: $SUBJCOMD") \ | $SENDMAIL -oi $listreq # If different address, email the target person for confirmation #--------------------------------------------------------------- :0 E | (formail -i"From: $listreq" -i"Subject: subscription confirmation needed" \ -I "To: $SUBJADDR"; \ echo "Confirmation code: $DATEMARK"; \ echo " "; \ echo "This list server has received a '$SUBJCOMD' request for"; \ echo "$SUBJADDR from $FROMADDR"; \ echo " "; \ echo "If this is what you wanted and wish to confirm, please reply to"; \ echo "this mail, and copy the entire 'Confirmation code' line on the"; \ echo "top of this mail into the 'Subject:' field.
