Each server has to know the SRS secret(s).
/etc/aliases:
srs0: "|/usr/bin/srs -reverse --secret=/etc/srs.secret"
srs1: "|/usr/bin/srs -reverse --secret=/etc/srs.secret"
The above proposed "srs" syntax is just one possible form.
I have taken this email as an approximate specification, and have included
such a script in version 0.23 of Mail::SRS. I am eager to include such
glue in the standard distribution, since it helps the less technical
implementors and keeps everyone speaking the same language for support
questions.
The above /etc/alias lines seem to imply that not only envelope
address rewriting happens but forwarding as well. It seems that your
script, on the other hand, just takes an address as an argument, and
transforms it. Another problem with your script is that it seems to
exit with 0 even if the address does not check out. (Bug: except in
the first place, the separator is always taken to be `=')
Do the above /etc/alias lines handle addresses of the form
srs0-blah...?
Do the above /etc/alias lines assume that srs is doing some checking
as well (like if this incoming message is really a bounce)? If not,
where and how is it checked that the message is a bounce? (Otherwise,
it seems I can just use the address to send spam back to the original
sender.)
