PhilI had been thinking about the filtering part of #fcli, my #Mastodon to #email bridge as 'similar to #procmail', but today I realised that if I add custom headers to the email messages it produces I can just use procmail itself. By interfacing #Fediverse ideas with email standards I seem to be needing less and less custom code to get a setup which works for me, and making more and more use of decades old open source software, which is actually a pretty great outcome.
KielKontrovers Bloguhh #Procmail ist ja echt kryptisch. Aber hab doch hinbekommen zu fixen bei #SmartList. Das wurde wohl noch vor #SPF geschrieben. Heute ist wichtig, dass From korrekt ist und Ursprungssender lieber in Reply-To packen.
I'm thinking about experimenting with replacing the filters in #FCLI with something more general purpose, inspired by #procmail recipes.
Procmail uses regular expressions on email headers (and bodies), so I wonder what the equivalent is for #JSON documents. Is this an #XPath like use case? I started looking for the JSON equivalent of XPath, and found #JSONPath, and then realised that XPath supports JSON natively nowadays.
UweDas #Dovecot 2.4.2 Update unter #Gentoo ist auch so ein Krampf. Die neue Standardkonfiguration verlangt den User "vmail", der nicht vom Installationsskript angelegt wird. Früher™ hat das auch mit anderen Nutzern geklappt (z.B. bei #Postfix). Naja. Und die Integration mit #procmail ist jetzt auch futsch. Menooo.
Eine halbwegs hilfreiche Update-Anleitung fehlt auch. Ich hab jetzt wirklich kein komplizierte Setup, nur persönliche Mails abrufen und einsortieren, halber Vormittag dafür schon weg. 🙄

Thomas AdamIn praise of #procmail
I thought I'd check to see how #procmail is doing after all this time.
It seems it's sort-of alive, via:
https://github.com/BuGlessRB/procmail
But even that project seems abandoned or inactive -- looking at the PRs which are there, they look good, but no-one is merging them.
I used to really like procmail -- you can also use it for more than sorting email as well.
It's also a shame that https://procmail.org just returns an empty JSON fragment `{}`.
I hope someone picks this up -- I would, but I think I might spread myself thin if I were to.
But I'm happy to, if no-one is will be...
𝗣𝗠𝗝 ⚫#procmail pro tipp:
alle emails die nicht an eine addresse in der domain gehen direkt in den spam ordner
* ! ^TO_*@domain.tld
$HOME/Maildir/.spam/
(ich bin allerdings nicht sicher ob man asterisk benötigt, ich habs einfach mal drin, doppelt gemoppelt und so)
edit: TO_ ist ein magic word und beinhaltet to, cc und bcc
der zielordner muss gegebenenfalls auf das eigene setup angepasst werden
N-gated Hacker NewsOh, the #nostalgia of procmail! 🌻 But fret not, #OpenSMTPD and #Maildrop are here to rock your inbox with their synchronized dance moves you won't care about. Because, clearly, getting modern tools to work together is rocket science. 🚀🙄

grayrattusSo I came up with this idea of cheap, #federated social network based only on emails.
It works kind of like a #mailing list with small change that all lists are federated and web apps capture their content which is merged together.
FUUUUUUUUUCK, setting up #procmail, #mailhog and all other shit to test it is like walking through PinkPop on molly during Electic Callboy performence.
WHY?! Why it's sooo hard to setup email correctly.
