To keep things tidy I also remove a few non-essential headers.
I hope you never have to do any diagnostics.
For what I'm doing, I don't think I will ever require diagnostics.
Build a special filter in PERL, and pipe the message thru that.
*makes a not to learn PERL one day*.
In short, not knowing what you are really doing, my suspicion is
you're making your life too complex for no good reason.
Ok, perhaps if I explain what I'm doing it will help.
I own my own domain (rowyerboat.com), so I can use specific addresses for
specific things, one for Procmail, one for Mailtraq, and multiple throw-away
ones when I'm registering somewhere I think I might get spam from (or I can
just track which sources I get spam from).
So, depending on where I am posting to, I need to set the From: address and
simply remove the Reply-To: address. For better or for worse, I'm using OE
which doesn't have the capability to change things like this, and there is
also the fact that I need to post to these groups from a different account
(eg. at work), where I have no control over such headers changes.
The method I have chosen to overcome my problems, is send a message to my
own domain (eg. procmail-support(_at_)mydomain(_dot_)com). If the procmail
recipe
matches on that address, it will do the following:
a) set the From: address to procmail(_at_)mydomain(_dot_)com
b) set the To: address to this list
c) Remove the Reply-To: header
d) Remove a customer header
e) Pipe the output to Sendmail
The message then appears as if it were from procmail(_at_)mydomain(_dot_)com
and allows
me to post a message to this group from any network as long as I can send
mail to myself.
Currently, I remove all Received: headers as a courtesy to others, but I ws
thinking I don't actually need any header except To:, From:, Subject: and
anything to do with MIME.
So, the million dollar question, how to remove all headers except the above?
Thanks,
Steve :)
