qconfirm-check-mid(1)  DragonFly General Commands Manual qconfirm-check-mid(1)


NAME

       qconfirm-check-mid - checks headers of a mail message for known
       references


SYNOPSIS

       qconfirm-check-mid [-av] [ mid ... ]


DESCRIPTION

       Normally qconfirm-check-mid is run by qconfirm-check(1) before
       requesting a delivery confirmation for mail from an envelope sender
       mail address.  If qconfirm-check-mid exits 0, qconfirm-check(1) doesn't
       request a delivery confirmation from this sender.

       qconfirm-check-mid assumes the environment variable SENDER to be set to
       the envelope sender mail address, and expects a mail message on
       standard input.

       qconfirm-check-mid reads the headers of the message available on
       standard input, and checks for each ``In-Reply-To'' and ``References''
       header if it contains a Message-ID that matches one of the space-
       separated mids in QCONFIRM_MID if set, or one of the mids given at the
       command line, and exits 0 if so.

       A header is successfully matched against QCONFIRM_MID or mid if the
       header field contains the string ``mid>'', case distinctions are
       ignored.  E.g., if qconfirm-check-mid is called

       qconfirm-check-mid -a '@smarden.org'

       this ``References'' header is matched successfully:

       References: <20030326042405.32385.qmail@smarden.org> <some@thing>


OPTIONS

       -a     accept.  After successfully matching a header of the message,
              add the envelope sender of this message to the list of known ids
              before exiting, so that qconfirm-check(1) automatically accepts
              further messages from this sender.

       -v     verbose.  Print verbose messages to standard output.


CONFIGURATION

       qconfirm-check-mid reads its configuration from files in the
       subdirectory conf/ of the qconfirm directory (normally
       ``~/.qconfirm/conf/'').  Only the first line of a configuration file is
       considered.

       QCONFIRM_MID
              The configuration file QCONFIRM_MID is optional, and may contain
              a space-separated list of mids.


ENVIRONMENT

       SENDER qconfirm-check-mid assumes the environment variable SENDER to be
              set to the envelope sender mail address.  If $SENDER is not set,
              qconfirm-check-mid complains and exits 100.

       QCONFIRM_MID
              The environment variable QCONFIRM_MID is optional, and may
              contain a space-separated list of mids.  The environment
              variable overrides the configuration file QCONFIRM_MID.

       QCONFIRM_DIR
              The environment variable QCONFIRM_DIR overrides the default
              location of the user's qconfirm directory (``.qconfirm'').
