sender_bcc - patterns questions

Hi there, I have a few questions about sender_bcc_maps. Until recently I have been using these to archive sent mail with a hash table like this: us...@mydomain.com user1_s...@mydomain.com and some procmail rules took messages sent to user1_s...@mydomain.com and piped it through gzip into a mo

Milter makros

Hi, I try to understand the documentation, but I fail :-) I have looked for some valuse: postconf -d milter_connect_macros milter_connect_macros = j {daemon_name} v I need {client_ptr} and {client_connections}, but do not know, how to add them. What is the syntax? Is it: milter_connect_macros

Hi, > postconf -d milter_connect_macros > milter_connect_macros = j {daemon_name} v okay, got it: milter_connect_macros = j {daemon_name} {client_ptr} {client_connections} v Not sure about the "v" at the _end_ of the line. But it works. Thanks Christian -- Roessner-Network-Solutions Bachelor
