This concept is neither new nor fancy + in itself, but the way Postwhite lets you manage your whitelist sure is. + + Here is a real life example: + + Arthur's main email address arthur@dent.tld is great for everyday + use, but he doesn't want to pollute it by using it for mailing lists, + websites, online shopping and such. Postwhite to the rescue! Arthur creates + a virtual email address hitchhike@dent.tld which is delivered to + the same mailbox. He adds this address to recipients.yml and then + restarts Postwhite. + + Initially, all incoming emails will be denied, so when Arthur decides to + join the Betelgeuse mailing list, his whitelist has to learn about this. + Arthur sends an empty email to hitchhike+learn@dent.tld which + puts Postwhite into learning mode for a limited period of time. In learning + mode, Postwhite allows and delivers any incoming mails, yet it + delivers a followup notification message along with it. When the first + email from the Betelgeuse mailing list comes in, Arthur simply replies to + the corresponding notification message thus adding Betelgeuse to the + whitelist. + </longdescription> +</pkgmetadata> |
