Developers of Sympa

["Jason Holland" <address@concealed>]

This is what I ended up doing. Since its not that easy for regular users to 
add another header to their emails I changed the scenario and added an 
additional line of code to mail.pm. 

1. The scenario is this. (I add a new scenario per list with a new password):
--------------------
title.us Password - Requires password in body

match([msg_body],/x_PASSWORD_x/) smtp -> do_it
true() smtp,smime,md5 -> reject
--------------------

2. Then I added a line of code to mail.pm in the sendto subroutine:
--------------------
sub sendto {
    my($msg_header, $msg_body, $from, $rcpt, $robot, $encrypt) = @_;
    do_log('debug2', 'mail::sendto(%s, %s, %s', $from, $rcpt, $encrypt);
    
    $msg_body =~ s/x_.+_x//i; # Strip out any passwords from message body

    my $msg;
--------------------

Of course I will need to keep track of this patch to mail.pm so I can 
re-patch it when my company decides to upgrade. 

Thanks,
Jason

email?


I also moved from Lyris to Sympa.

What I do is put a header in the email with my "password" in it.

To accomplish this, I did:
1.  Create custom "send" scenario that looks like this:
--------------------
title.us Password Newsletter -- requires PASSWD Header

match([header->PASSWD],/password/) smtp -> do_it
true() smtp,smime,md5 -> reject
--------------------

2.  Configure sympa via /etc/sympa.conf to remove the password from the 
headers with this line:
remove_headers  
Return-Receipt-To,Precedence,X-Sequence,Disposition-Notification-To,PASSWD

3.  Configure your list to use the custom send scenario, and any 
messages with the password in the header can bypass moderation...  
Actually... in my example above, any message missing the password is 
outright rejected.

Regards,
John
