I've sucessfully built a virtual Postfix email server which reads the users
logins and passwords, quota limits, etc, from a database (Postfix really
excels at this kind of thing).
Users can now manage their domains on their own through a Web-interface.
I've just built a script to enable autoresponders (yes i know autoresponders
suck but some clients just want them and that's it) which follow the
configuration of Postfix in the manner discussed at:
http://www.postfix.org/VIRTUAL_README.html#autoreplies
It works great. Thing is, I would like to know which measures can i take to
detect mailing lists so an autoreply (say a vacation message or something)
is never sent to a mailing list. I've googled for it, and came up with the
following:
- Don't send autoreplies to emails with an envelope sender that begins with
"owner-"
- Look for a "Precedence" header in the email, if it's set to "bulk", "list"
ou "junk" then don't send autoreplies to it.
The thing is, as i'm using the following layout:
/etc/postfix/master.cf:
# =============================================================
# service type private unpriv chroot wakeup maxproc command
# (yes) (yes) (yes) (never) (100)
# =============================================================
autoreply unix - n n - - pipe
flags= user=nobody argv=/path/to/autoreply $sender $mailbox
my autoreply script only gets access to the sender email address and the
mailbox (which is the recipient email address, as i'm using virtual). Is
there any way to pass along the email headers to the script so it could
check the "Precedence" header? Thanks in advance.
