A little script for using qmail with rt

Hi.

I am lazy. I do not want to update an mail alias file when I add a new queue
to rt.

That is why I have written this little script, i at the end.

I guess it might be quite useful for other people too, so, have fun.

Best regards,
Matthias

qmail2rt v0.2# (c) 2002 by Matthias Juchem matthias@konfido.net

May be distributed freely, but I do not take responsibility for damage.

Feedback is welcome.

This script is used for piping mails delivered by qmail to rt-mailgate.

Setup:

a) one virtual domains for rt with one user ($receiver) who receives all

mail for this domain (e.g. all mail for support.acme.com goes to user

rt).

b) ~$receiver/.qmail-default says:

| /var/qmail/bin/preline /home/$receiver/qmail2rt.pl

(e.g. “| /var/qmail/bin/preline /home/rt/qmail2rt.pl”)

c) mail address for queues are built like this:

$queue-$action@virtualdomain

( e.g. accounting-correspond@support.acme.com )

That means that LOCAL will contain rt-accounting-correspond.

d) In the file $queuelistfile you can list all valid queues. Furthermore,

you can decide whether qmail2rt insists on having this file. But if the

file is present, qmail2rt will only accept mail for queus listed in this

file.

e) @names contains some mail aliases. Mails to those addresses will be

forwarded to $rtowner. (e.g. if @names contains ‘postmaster’, mail

to postmaster@support.acme.com is forwarded to $rtowner.)

Configuration variables - Change these for your site if necessary.

mail address of the rt admin (do quote the “@”!)

my $rtowner = “rtowner@gigashells.net”;

full path to qmail-inject

my $qmailinject = “/var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject”;

$receiver is the local user that receives all mail for our rt-subdomain.

directly

“rtowner”, “owner”, “admin”, “hostmaster” );

set to 1 qmail2rt should not send any hard errors, 0 else

my $noharderrors = 0;

a problem wrt to security, but is useful while installing rt

# final email address that receives the mail
hbounce(“LOCAL not set.”);
}

my $local = lc($ENV{“LOCAL”});
$local =~ s/^$receiver-(.*)$/$1/; # strip the rt- at the beginning

debug “local is set to $local now”;

check if the mail went to one of the alias mentioned in @names

foreach my $name (@names) {

hbounce(“Unable to execute qmail-inject. ($?)”);

}

Hi.

Here is an updated version of the qmail2rt.pl script that has been included
in the installation guide as the ‘scary qmail hack’.

Please include this version. Thank you.

Comments are welcome.

Best regards,
Matthias
