I am developing a web site to be used as part of a training program for new
internet users with an emphasis on keeping everything as simple as possible.
To this end all access for students is to be through www pages with mail
converted into HTML pages and limited privacy provided through passwords etc.
As my students will be using the system for between one week and one
semester I dont want to (nor do not have the ability to) have separate
alias' for each student but rather have all mail go through
<students(_at_)auservices(_dot_)com>.
Two possible filtering strategies I've thought about are:
1. To modify the "name" on the "name" <students(_at_)auservices(_dot_)com> on
the TO
line and then on receipt filter the FROM firstly for
<students(_at_)auservices(_dot_)com> and then the (name) variable against a
list I keep
in the .procmail directory. The output would then be redirected to the
appropriate directory for each student and the mail to html program
(MHonarc) run.
2. To add an extra header line to the mail under the TO line such as
STUDENT: Bundoora Secondary College "name" and filter all replys for that
line. If present redirect and convert. If not to an unsorted area for
processing.
The likely mail useage would be to autorepliers, other students in the
group and general email useage.
Has anyone done anything like this or has any suggestions
