Re: [maildropl] How to extract $USER to embed to the loop in Maildropfilter ?

[Truong T. S. <so...@fc...>]

Dear mouss,

Your guidance is right.
Postfix automatically separates each recipient in header by "maildrop_destination_recipient_limit" option.
Because my Postfix can not authenticate the sender when sender is an alias, so I change to use maildropfilter to fordward 
message at backend.

Please teach me if you have better solution to solve this problem.

**My scenario:
group@ .. = {user1@ .., user2@.., user3@..};   group@, user@.. are virtual users.

If sender = group@.. , request authenticated username&password to allow sending.
else If  recipient = group@.., then delivers message to user list {user1@.., user2@.., user3@..}

#cat $HOME/group/Maildir/.forward
user1@.. user2@..  user3@...

#cat /etc/maildroprc
`test -f $HOME/$USER/Maildir/.forward`
if ($RETURNCODE == 0)
{
 str=`head -1 $HOME/$USER/Maildir/.forward`
 to "!$str"
}
else
 {
  to "$HOME/$USER/Maildir/"
 }

By using exclamation mark with "!" before list of user, I can deliver message to all users in file.
But this solution is suitable for any users, it can't solve if list contains more user.



Thanks you very much.


Truong Tan Son.

I see absolutely no reason why one would want to "extract users". mail
is delivered to a single mailbox (maildrop is not an MTA). What problem
are you trying to solve? As Sam said, you should not use TO & CC headers
for routing. if you play with these, you are going to break a whole lot
of things (and possibly annoy a lot of of us).

when running maildrop, make sure it gets one recipient at a time. with
postfix, use:

maildrop_destination_recipient_limit = 1
