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> |
