qconfirm-notice(1)     DragonFly General Commands Manual    qconfirm-notice(1)


NAME

       qconfirm-notice - handles delivery notifications for mail injected
       through qconfirm-inject(1)


SYNOPSIS

       in .qmail:
              |qconfirm-notice [-Av] [-d dir] [-i bytes] [-tmda]


DESCRIPTION

       qconfirm-notice normally runs from a .qmail file automatically created
       by qconfirm-conf(1) to handle delivery notifications (bounces) for mail
       injected through qconfirm-inject(1).

       qconfirm-notice checks the validity of the delivery notification, and
       attempts to only allow notifications for mail messages injected through
       qconfirm-inject(1) to be delivered.

       If qconfirm-notice identifies a delivery notifications as delivery
       confirmation request message for a mail injected through
       qconfirm-inject(1), it automatically sends a delivery confirmation
       message.

       If qconfirm-notice(1) sees the .qmail file it is invoked from to be in
       use for long enough, it sets up a copy of the .qmail file with a
       slightly modified address extension, and tells qconfirm-inject(1) to
       inject mail so that delivery notifications are processed through the
       new .qmail file.  Older .qmail file are removed automatically.

              expiration of a .qmail file that handled delivery notifications
              in seconds.  Default is 8467200.
