Scripts from the Book
The following scripts are from Postfix: The Definitive Guide. None of them are very long, but if you're interested you can grab them from here to save yourself from typing them.
- postfix (Chapter 4) General start/stop script for SysV-style initialization.
- pfdel.pl (Chapter 5) Perl script to delete messages from the queue based on the sender or recipient's email address.
- pfcat.sh (Chapter 5) Shell script to easily display the contents of a queue file.
- inforeply.pl (Chapter 8) Perl concept script for creating an automatic reply mechanism. This script will require some customization on your part, but it's a good starting point.
I'm using Google Friend Connect as a commenting system for this
site. You can sign in with a Google, AOL, Yahoo, OpenID, etc.
account, and I'm assuming nearly everybody has one of those. If
not, you can easily create one for Google (if you already have
a Gmail account, that works too). If you don't like having to
sign in or you would like to send a comment to me individually,
feel free to send me an email message. --Kyle
