If the Courier server is not using msa, you could have esmtproutes
as:
: localhost,587/SECURITY=NONE
... have esmtpd-msa listening, then, well, I haven't thought
through it beyond that. :-)
That's about the same as pointing it to a non-existent server. The
connection will fail and the message will stay in the queue. That is
a possible solution, but not very elegant as the mailq will expand
quickly and have to be manually cleaned out.
I was hoping someone would chime in and make it elegant. :-)
To continue... "esmtpd-msa start" so the connection succeeds to an
existant server. [the esmtpd-msa script may need to change...?]
etc/smtpaccess-msa/default could contain:
*<tab>accept,SOMEVAR=foo
[can couriertcpd variables be arbitrary?]
etc/maildroprc then checks if SOMEVAR=foo and if true drops the message
(exit's)
That assumes DEFAULTDELIVERY points to maildrop. If not, then change the
"couriertcpd" line in esmtpd-msa to some program other than
courieresmtpd such that stdin gets dropped in the bit-bucket. Per
couriertcpd manpage,
"The program's standard input and output are set to the network
connection."
Hmm, so the latter needs to talk smtp, so perhaps maildrop is the only
option?
