I have recently been setting up my email on
the linux side and decided to use a tip that
I found in an old addition of the linux gazette.
Basically the idea is to create a filter for mail
leaving the local system. I tried to use it a few
times but the mail keep being sent back with the
following:
A message that you sent could not be delivered
to all of its recipients. The following address(es)
failed:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:
SMTP error from remote mailer after MAIL FROM:
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> SIZE=1412:
host mail.inet.fi [192.54.155.189]:
553 hampaita.fi does not exist
Anyway here is the code in question.
#!/usr/bin/perl
while (<>) {
if (/^From: /) {
s/<.*>/<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>/;
print;
last;
}
print;
}
while(<>){
print;
}
The idea is to place a reference to this on exim.conf and it would
be used when mail was being sent outside of the system.
I know next to nothing about perl and I'm not sure whether the
author may have made a typo or the syntax may be outdated. When I
try to source it I get the following:
bash: /usr/local/bin/mail-filter: line 3: syntax error near unexpected
t oken `()'
bash: /usr/local/bin/mail-filter: line 3: `while () {'
