This java application POP's it's email to distribute it later on. Now, in most cases this goes without a hitch, except when the adress on which the java application checks is bcc'ed. For this reason the coders decided it was a wise step to push the issue forward to the admins, requestion for every e-mail that passes on thrue a X-evelope-to: header, with the recepient after that. Now, I'm unsure how to approach this.. or how I could approach this, but more important.. how I should approach this. header_checks and UCE rules alike, in the duration that I was reading I'm unsure if that would be the road to take (and a "deadline" is coming insight rather quickly). Any pcre or other regex option availible that ADD's a headerline?Unfortunately it is not clear from your description how the mail is being handled. When you say "This java application POP's it's email", is it always POPing from a single mailbox, or could it POP from various mailboxes? Anyway, if you just want to add a header when you know the envelope recipient, just pipe the message through this filter:formail -A "X-envelope-to: $recipient"If the recipient is not defined then that is another story . . .
Thx for your reply,I should have stuck to the question, and not make it a blurry episode describing what the application does
in a sense.What is needed is quite simple, but I still don't know enough about postfix to get it done (right). The mail handling is unchanged, looking at it from a default postfix install, but it needs to get an extra header
line: x-envelope-to: $recipientthe $recipient must be the recipient, so that the application can treat the mailbox as something like an
ETRN account. Thx, ,Mark
