I'd like to write a plugin for qpsmtpd that talks to vpopmaild to validate local delivery addresses.Is this something vpopmaild is currently capable of? e.g. check the validity of an email address and return the "real" delivery addressFor example, when supplied with the address "[EMAIL PROTECTED]", check for things like qmail extensions being enabled, whether [EMAIL PROTECTED] exists, is there a catchall for the domain, etc.Assume extensions are enabled, and the following users are defined: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] This is what I'd expect to see returned email address "real address" ====================== ================ [EMAIL PROTECTED]/com [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]
if you can write a plug-in which reads a cdb file, i've already written a script which generates a list of every valid email address on a vpopmail system. i wrote it because i also wrote a patch for qmail-smtpd which checks RCPT TO arguments against the cdb file.
http://qmail.jms1.net/patches/validrcptto.cdb.shtml explains the patch, and the bottom half of the page talks about the script. if it can help you, feel free...
