They key thing here is that I am setting this for non-technical Windows
users, so I simply wanted something for them to send off approved messages
to without dealing with header manipulation. I have since solved this by
rolling my own "approve" script using the "deliver" package which made this
easy. Here's what I did - when the user gets a bounce for mail sent to the
mailing list called "answers", he then redirects the original message he
wishes to approve to an alias called answers-approved which is an alias that
pipes the message through deliver which in turn pipes the message through
this script and voila! The script makes sure the sender is an approved
address. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction regarding only
needing the original message.
#!/bin/sh
# Set approved: header and send back into the stream to majordomo
TOPDIR=/usr/local/lib/answers
ALLOW=${TOPDIR}/allow
WRKFILE=/tmp/answers.$$
WHO=`echo $SENDER | sed -e "s/^.*<//" -e "s/>//"`
if grep "^${WHO}$" $ALLOW > /dev/null 2>&1
then
PW=`grep "^answers" /.majordomo | awk ' { print $2 } '`
echo "/^Subject:/i\\" > approve.sed
echo "Approved: $PW" >> approve.sed
cat $HEADER | sed -f approve.sed -e "s/answers-approved/answers/" >
$WRKFILE
cat $BODY >> $WRKFILE
cat $WRKFILE | /usr/lib/sendmail -oi -t
rm $WRKFILE
else
echo "Attempt from $WHO" | mailx -s "Majordomo approval attempt"
