qconfirm-notice(1)

NAME
qconfirm-notice - handles delivery notifications for mail injected through qconfirm-inject(1)

SYNOPSIS

in .qmail:
    |qconfirm-notice [-Av] [-d dir] [-i bytes] [-tmda]

DESCRIPTION
qconfirm-notice normally runs from a .qmail file automatically created by qconfirm-conf(1) to handle delivery notifications (bounces) for mail injected through qconfirm-inject(1).

qconfirm-notice checks the validity of the delivery notification, and attempts to only allow notifications for mail messages injected through qconfirm-inject(1) to be delivered.

If qconfirm-notice identifies a delivery notifications as delivery confirmation request message for a mail injected through qconfirm-inject(1), it automatically sends a delivery confirmation message.

If qconfirm-notice(1) sees the .qmail file it is invoked from to be in use for long enough, it sets up a copy of the .qmail file with a slightly modified address extension, and tells qconfirm-inject(1) to inject mail so that delivery notifications are processed through the new .qmail file. Older .qmail file are removed automatically.
