I offered a solution that allows you to set up a rule for each
typo-ed recipient domain or address, but you dismissed that because
you wanted something that requires no configuration. At that point
it is no longer a mail server problem but a database problem, so
this will have to wait until someone makes a suitable database
available.
As usual, I'm probably misunderstanding, so let me ask it a different
way. I'm not looking to build a list of typos & corrections for Postfix
to automagically deal with idiot users. I want to provide users with
more information to better allow them to understand what they did
wrong. Example:
7A44F20CED3 4338053 Mon Dec 28 10:50:59 idiotu...@amfes.com
(Host or domain name not found. Name service error for
name=fireprotectionbymesa.com type=AAAA: Host not found)
Seeing this in a bounce message (usually) means something to ME - but my
users will just cross their eyes and think OUR system is broken.
Instead, I would like a process that would take the above message and
translate it to something more user-friendly. Something like:
The message you attempted to send could not be delivered. The address
you attempted to send to was "u...@wrongexample.com". However, the part
after the @ sign, "wrongexample.com", is not a valid Internet name.
Verify your spelling is correct. Otherwise, it is possible there is a
problem with the computers at "wrongexample.com" and you may attempt to
send your message again later.
I do see that perhaps a table might have to be created for matching the
various server responses to my user-friendly messages. But, if you
consider this is at all worthwhile - how would it be implemented? Is
this something that would require a change to the bounce program? Or is
the potential already there - and just changing some existing settings
would allow me to pipe the rejection message back through an external
filter?
