hello to everyone,

i try to implement a simple autoresponder as many of you already did or use. i have a global maildroprc which redirects spam to other folder and local .mailfilter for user filters.

now i want to do the following, as an example a file called "aliases" has email addresses of one user in it like follows:

in...@mydomain.org sal...@mydomain.org off...@mydomain.org

i now would like to see if the receiving email is addressed to one of these email addresses to exclude mass mail senders. to check one email address i did that with the hasaddr() function. how is it possible to iterate through a file and check it with hasaddr()? i don't understand the foreach documentation in the manual, i think. is it just for regexp matches of the email headers?

in a shellscript i would do that as follows:

addresses=`cat aliases` for address in ${addresses[@]} do if [ hasaddr($address) ] then found=1 fi done

but i'm really to stupid to do that in maildropfilters language/syntax

thanks in advance for any help jimmy
