| Post subject: | Best Mail Setup to Just Forward Email? |
I would like my linode to simply forward all mail sent to it. However, I will be munging various subject lines. I'm doing this so I can have email aliases setup like en-work@example.com, and any email sent to that would add "#work" to the subject so it'd be sorted correctly at Evernote. Same thing for Toodledo, etc. Some email addresses will just forward as-is. So...what is the best way to do this? procmail for the munging but what should I setup as far as the mail program itself? |

Have you looked at the library? http://library.linode.com/search?query=smtp |

I generally use Postfix for mail stuff, so I'd lean towards that. Something I threw up awhile back to change the envelope sender of forwarded mail (to avoid tripping out SPF) defined a transport: /etc/postfix/virtual Code: ... /etc/postfix/transport Code: .munger munger: /etc/postfix/main.cf Code: munger_destination_recipient_limit = 1 /etc/postfix/master.cf Code: ... /etc/postfix/redirector Code: #!/bin/bash I thought it was pretty clever: to route mail through it, just append .munger to the recipient e-mail address. You could do something similar without having to do a lot of manual configuration, if you wanted to dedicate something.example.com to the job... en.example.com pipes through procmail to add "#${MAILBOX}" to the subject, so work@en.example.com would add #work, etc. Or, search for docs on setting up postfix+procmail and someone'll probably have your use case ready to roll. |

Instead of munging subject lines, couldn't you just add a custom header you can use to filter with your client? |
