Hi list,
This is a first go at a patch to replace the originating domain
of the sender with a random string, so you can hide people's
email addresses but still get some idea of who sent what to the
list. I hope this feature doesn't exist already!
The attached patch is in diff -urN format, against 2.1.4.
I've added a configuration variable "antispamdomain".
To turn it on, set
spamprotect = 1
antispamdomain = "some_string"
in the config file.
This will rewrite lgm@seti.org to lgm_at_some_string.
It also rewrites the "display name" if there is an email address
in that.
I added some examples to tests/test.rc as well.
Improvements:
It would be nice to use some kind of formatting text to have
more control over the output, without having to rebuild the code.
The case antispamdomain = "" could be handled more gracefully.
Two other comments.
Could not get it to compile statically on solaris2.6
Not sure what the problem is there.
I found the --with-gdbm configure option does a bad job of
setting up dynamic linking; LD_LIBRARY_PATH is evil.
In src/Makefile, configure should set
OPT_LIBS = -R/path/to/gdbm/lib -L/path/to/gdbm/lib -lgdbm
Could someone who understands autoconfig take a look?
Cheers
