vfilter is a new package to administer email filter over the web and to modify folder access rights. The created filters are based on procmail. You can download vfilter under the URL ftp://ftp.pure.ch/filter/ Enjoy, Werner The following is an excerpt from the README file Features -------- * users can create the following kind of filters over a web interface - forward - notify - delete - file into folders - autoreply - vacation * the numbers of created filters can be limited (with separate limits for vacation/autoreply filters) * support for regular expressions * the web interface allows to modify or delete multiple selected filters * no separate daemon process * users can modify the access rights of their folders Overview -------- The main parts of vfilter are - procfilter (cgi script, user interface) - filter.pl (creates, modifies and deletes filter) - cyrus_procmailrc (global procmailrc file) Filters are created as procmail recipes. The data to build the recipes is stored in a database table. If a user successfully authenticates herself she can see her existing scripts through the database table data. The cgi (procfilter) has no direct access to the procmail recipes under control of the imap server user. If a new filter should be added for a certain user an email is sent containing the number of the row in the db table with the recipe data. A script of the imap server user (filter.pl) is then processing the email and adds the recipe to the recipe file of the user. -- Werner Reisberger pgp-public-key available: Viktoriastr. 15 http://www.pure.ch/mypubkey.txt CH-8057 Zurich
