qconfirm
qconfirm-check-mid - checks headers of a mail message for known references
qconfirm-check-mid [-av] [ mid ... ]
Normally qconfirm-check-mid
is run by qconfirm-check(1) before requesting a delivery confirmation for
mail from an envelope sender mail address. If qconfirm-check-mid exits 0,
qconfirm-check(1) doesn’t request a delivery confirmation from this sender.
qconfirm-check-mid assumes the environment variable SENDER to be set to the
envelope sender mail address, and expects a mail message on standard input.
qconfirm-check-mid reads the headers of the message available on standard
input, and checks for each ‘‘In-Reply-To’’ and ‘‘References’’ header if it contains
a Message-ID that matches one of the space-separated mids in QCONFIRM_MID
if set, or one of the mids given at the command line, and exits 0 if so.
A header is successfully matched against QCONFIRM_MID or mid if the header
field contains the string ‘‘mid>’’, case distinctions are ignored. E.g., if qconfirm-check-mid
is called
qconfirm-check-mid -a ’@smarden.org’
this ‘‘References’’ header is matched
successfully:
References: <20030326042405.32385.qmail@smarden.org> <some@thing>
- -a
- accept. After successfully matching a header of the message, add
the envelope sender of this message to the list of known ids before exiting,
so that qconfirm-check(1) automatically accepts further messages from this
sender.
- -v
- verbose. Print verbose messages to standard output.
qconfirm-check-mid
reads its configuration from files in the subdirectory conf/ of the qconfirm
directory (normally ‘‘~/.qconfirm/conf/’’). Only the first line of a configuration
file is considered.
- QCONFIRM_MID
- The configuration file QCONFIRM_MID is
optional, and may contain a space-separated list of mids.
- SENDER
- qconfirm-check-mid assumes the environment variable SENDER to be set to the
envelope sender mail address. If $SENDER is not set, qconfirm-check-mid complains
and exits 100.
- QCONFIRM_MID
- The environment variable QCONFIRM_MID is optional,
and may contain a space-separated list of mids. The environment variable
overrides the configuration file QCONFIRM_MID.
- QCONFIRM_DIR
- The environment
variable QCONFIRM_DIR overrides the default location of the user’s qconfirm
directory (‘‘.qconfirm’’).
