Hi,

Many thanks for the qconfirm package. I love it, it works for me! 

Thinking outloud here....

Now, I think some of our clients would enjoy this program. 

I know we can control through email, this is a great feature when things
are running. And ...

... I was wondering if there are ways to add people to the "OK list"
from a remote location *before* they send an email ...

Now  it would be possible to add a program too .qmail which records
all the senders. The logfile/dir would be in a format qconfirm would
understand.

After n new senders, a defined time period or a trigger by the owner.
The new senders would be sorted.  Checked agains the existing OK list.
And an email send out too the user:


Hi this is the qconfirm package, you have received email from
6 new address comming from 2 domains.

#Use this line to accept all email from haarman.com
haarman.com:=-
#or select the users from haarman.com you wish to add:
haarman.com:=-frans
haarman.com:=-support
haarman.com:=-info

#Use this line to accept all email from smarden.org
smarden.org:=-
#or select the users from smarden.org you wish to add:
smarden.org:=-qconfirm
smarden.org:=-is
smarden.org:=-something
smarden.org:=-else

The owner would remove the unwanted senders (and/or uncomment the things
to be added ?) and reply to the temporary address.

A confirmation could be send if a enviroment variable is set. Perhaps
there could even be a way to remove entries from a temporary address set
up by the confirmation....


Biggest problem is I cant code. So putting my money where my mouth is is
pretty hard. I will try to write some scripts and see where it gets me.

Other then that, feedback on this idea is very welcome :) Its all good.
Something like this just seems usefull to me so I thought I'd share!

Regards,
Frans
