Hello,
I am a happy Maildrop admin, but recently have developed the need to do
something a little out of the ordinary.
I have a "special" domain for which I want to accept any and all email
just
long enough to filter it in the global maildroprc file (where it will be
resent elsewhere). I do NOT have this domain set up in my auth backend
(MySQL), since it is NOT a valid/real domain on the machine where Maildrop
runs.
Naturally, mails to this "special" domain get bounced with:
relay=maildrop, delay=3, status=bounced (user unknown. Command output:
Invalid user specified. )
My question is if I am missing some simple config item somewhere that
will
let me tell Maildrop to accept any and all mails for some domain without
needing to do any auth lookup (since that will fail). Or is there any
special (catchall?) syntax I can use for the account name in the backend
(MySQL in my case, but should not be relevant) so the lookup will not fail?
Ah - perhaps this in maildropmysql.conf...??
where_clause ""
I am thinking:
where_clause " OR (domain='$DOMAIN' AND username='SPECIAL_CATCHALL') "
But there are a few big questions here:
1) where_clause supposedly has to start with "AND". Is this true? will
"OR" fail? If so, can I do this: " AND 1=1 OR (domain='$DOMAIN' AND
username='SPECIAL_CATCHALL') "
2) I have no idea if $DOMAIN is a legitimate substitution. Does Maildrop
expose variables like that in this context?
3) I think this will work (but feels somewhat hacked) with a single entry
in my user account database:
Field Value
username SPECIAL_CATCHALL
domain special.domain.tld
<all other fields> junk - not used
