How do you do that?
I'd sure love to reject e-mail that says To: Joe Smith
([EMAIL PROTECTED]) but what about mail where they don't enter any
name?
Baby, bathwater...
You do it with a *really* *ugly* set of rules and a meta. Or well, you can
only reject if you are doing it at the frontend, and as you point out
rejecting may not be appropriate. But I do add, I forget, 3-5 points for
getting my name wrong if you include a display name.
# ----------------------------------------
# mail is not really to me
# Look for a string of [["]First Last[ ]["]] [<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>]
# the name at the front is optional, but if it is there it better be right.
header __TO_ME ToCc =~ /(?:^|\>,|\>|,)\s*(?:\"?\'?First
.*?\b?Last\s*\'?\"?\s*\<?(?i:[EMAIL PROTECTED])\>?|\<?(?i:[EMAIL
PROTECTED])\>?)/
meta NOT_TO_ME (!__TO_ME)
describe NOT_TO_ME Mail is not addressed to me
The real problem here is that it is a unique solution for every user.
The not quite so nasty problem is the number of different ways to render
my name, especially if I allow for most of the common fsckups.
You and I are lucky in that we can reject anything to us at .com, which
is almost certainly spam. (Some people make the mistake. I correct them.
And I score the mistake fairly high. And there are other address manglings
I give even higher scores than the .com.)
