NAME

       cufilter - Filter emails through Mail::CheckUser

SYNOPSIS

       Add the following lines to your ~/.procmailrc:

         # Filter mail through Mail::CheckUser
         :0f
         | /usr/bin/cufilter

DESCRIPTION

       When email messages are filtered through this program using the procmail settings as
       outlined in the SYNOPSYS, the email address in the "From:" header is passed through
       Mail::CheckUser to ensure validity.  If there is a problem with the email address, the
       "Subject:" header is modified to show which email address failed along with the failure
       reason.  No messages are lost, but it provides an easy way for the mail client to
       organize, sort, or filter based on the subject tweaks.

EXAMPLES

       Lets say a spammer sends a message with the following headers:

         From: god@heaven.org
         To: you@host.com
         Subject: Happy Pill

       Then the new headers might change to the following:

         From: god@heaven.org
         To: you@host.com
         Subject: [CU!god@heaven.org!DNS failure: SERVFAIL] Happy Pill

       This makes it easy to filter for mail clients.

INSTALL

       This file can be installed into /usr/bin/cufilter and is intended to be utilized through
       the procmail functionality by adding the following lines to your ~/.procmailrc
       configuration.

         # Filter mail through Mail::CheckUser
         :0f
         | /usr/bin/cufilter
