my anti-spam system is a simple setup, easy to operate. messages accepted by the smtp-daemon are bayesian-classified (bogofilter). qconfirm deals with everything going past this stage. a script combining qconfirm and qmHandle (a qmail queue lister) gives me a neat listing of pending senders. problem: very few spammers use valid sender emails. with nearly all valid sender (-domains) in .qconfirm/ok/, qconfirm-check causes a lot of unneccessary confirmations getting sent, because they will end up as bounces qconfirm- return can't handle if they aren't in QSBMF (qmails bounce format). i would like qconfirm to send confirmation notes only to a few senders i manually select, or to leave out the confirmation business alltogether. the way things are at present (qconfirm version 0.14.2), qconfirm acts as a special add-on to the qmail-queue: it prevents messages from certain senders from getting delivered, leaving them in the queue. only few of them are automatically removed by qconfirm-return, all the better. i don't know about other users, but since qconfirm-check-mid okays messages with my message-IDs, the listing contains spammers almost exclusively, and my inbox contains the many bounces! i like this "feature", because manual confirmation is very easy (using a bash completer), but i'd like to avoid the useless confirmation emails. could qconfirm-check have an option `-M' (for _M_anual) that leaves all confirming to the user (qconfirm "ac", "dr", "sn", "bo" commands)? can i write a little program as an argument to qconfirm-check that does this? what exit code is needed? the documentation is unclear to me for this type of application. clemens
