I've changed it a bit since. I now both bounce the mail and also dump a copy into mbox.bounced so that I can occasionaly grep it to look for things like viruses and stupid spam that other people say they got that were especially funny. I also changed it to make getting web order responses a little easier . Since I have a domain that I own, I can have any number of mail adresses that go to me. I made a pattern that matches a class of them (e.g. x\..*). I allow anything mailed to x\..* to get through the filter. Whenever I order something on the web and they need a mail address, I always give them something of the form x.theirdomainname. That way, I don't have to worry about turning them on for the reply. If that name starts getting used by spammers I end up knowing both who is selling their lists and can turn that destination address off. To the web's credit and to me surprisingly, that's never happened. On a similar note, I'm changing the outgoing filter that marshal pipes mail through from /bin/myupassend to /mail/box/$user/pipefrom. The former required a bind to personalize and the new naming is a bit more obvious given pipeto already existing. There is one danger: if you call marshal (perhaps inadvertantly by running /bin/mail) you'll end up with a forker. /bin/myupassend will continue to work for a few months to give people a chance to change over. --upas-apxbgiqdbklalcpqdbukjbzyvj Content-Type: message/rfc822 Content-Disposition: inline Received: from plan9.cs.bell-labs.com ([135.104.9.2]) by plan9; Thu Dec 19 07:09:20 EST 2002 Received: from mail.cse.psu.edu ([130.203.4.6]) by plan9; Thu Dec 19 07:09:20 EST 2002 Received: from psuvax1.cse.psu.edu (psuvax1.cse.psu.edu [130.203.20.6]) by mail.cse.psu.edu (CSE Mail Server) with ESMTP id AFFB819AB3; Thu, 19 Dec 2002 07:09:08 -0500 (EST) Delivered-To: 9fans@cse.psu.edu Received: from workbench.borf.com (borf.com [209.179.94.84]) by mail.cse.psu.edu (CSE Mail Server) with ESMTP id 71B5919A9E for <9fans@cse.psu.edu>; Thu, 19 Dec 2002 07:08:24 -0500 (EST) Message-ID: <87630f82934e9c156dfbcd283bc9c82a@coraid.com> From: bwc@coraid.com To: 9fans@cse.psu.edu MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Subject: [9fans] filters and _pattern Sender: 9fans-admin@cse.psu.edu Errors-To: 9fans-admin@cse.psu.edu X-BeenThere: 9fans@cse.psu.edu X-Mailman-Version: 2.0.11 Precedence: bulk Reply-To: 9fans@cse.psu.edu List-Id: Fans of the OS Plan 9 from Bell Labs <9fans.cse.psu.edu> List-Archive: Date: Thu, 19 Dec 2002 07:10:16 -0500 If anyone else is using the filterkit stuff, note that the _pattern file must be writeable by others. I assume since upas runs as none. I've been using the pipeto in filterkit for the last 30 days and have >4000 entries in the bounced file. But I hadn't been able to add a single new entry until this morning. Brantley --upas-apxbgiqdbklalcpqdbukjbzyvj--
