Hi,

I'm trying to cleanup all the crap that comes into my mailing list owner mailboxes, and I'm now just down to wanting to automagically bin all *-subscribe requests with a non-blank Subject header. These are invariably spammers who've found a link to a mailbox via our website subscribe portlets/forms.

While I could write a filter to do this and place it ahead of the couriermlm msg in the maildrop recipe, it occurs to me that to write a performant C program, it would have somewhat similar functionality to couriermlm. Would anyone be interested in including another options parameter, say BOUNCENOSUBJECT, which (in conjunction with SIMPLECONFIRM logic) silently dropped these on the floor (returncode 99)??

In lieu of Mr Sam offering to do this, I can provide a patch if there's interest.

BTW, the couriermlm man page has typo'd NOSDN which should read NODSN ...

Cheers, Alan
