What I'm think of trying to create is a maildrop script that does the following. I will try to draw out the flow

new email * does the email address match what is in the text file at $HOME/confirmed or $HOME/outstanding Yes No * * Accept the Email Send an email asking to confirm the address the email was sent from creates $HOME/outstanding

So if an email comes into the system and the address is not confirmed, it will send a email to confirm the intent of the email. If the reply comes back and the information in the email is correct, it would get added to the confirmed list and email's could then be accepted.

In the confirmation email, it would have a step saying please change the subject to CONFIRMED, to make sure it was an automated process.

The only thing I'm not sure on is how to get maildrop to read a text file and parse the information from it or would a small database be better, it maildrop can handle it.
