qconfirm-check-mid(1)					 qconfirm-check-mid(1)

NAME
       qconfirm-check-mid  - checks headers of a mail message for known refer‐
       ences

SYNOPSIS
       qconfirm-check-mid [-av] [ mid ... ]

DESCRIPTION
       Normally qconfirm-check-mid is run by qconfirm-check(1) before request‐
       ing  a  delivery	 confirmation  for  mail  from an envelope sender mail
       address.	 If  qconfirm-check-mid	 exits	0,  qconfirm-check(1)  doesn't
       request a delivery confirmation from this sender.

       qconfirm-check-mid assumes the environment variable SENDER to be set to
       the envelope sender mail address, and expects a mail message  on	 stan‐
       dard input.

       qconfirm-check-mid  reads the headers of the message available on stan‐
       dard input, and checks  for  each  ``In-Reply-To''  and	``References''
       header  if it contains a Message-ID that matches one of the space-sepa‐
       rated mids in QCONFIRM_MID if set, or one of the mids given at the com‐
       mand line, and exits 0 if so.

       A  header  is  successfully  matched against QCONFIRM_MID or mid if the
       header field  contains  the  string  ``mid>'',  case  distinctions  are
       ignored.	 E.g., if qconfirm-check-mid is called

       qconfirm-check-mid -a '@smarden.org'

       this ``References'' header is matched successfully:

       References: <20030326042405.32385.qmail@smarden.org> <some@thing>

OPTIONS
       -a     accept.	After  successfully  matching a header of the message,
	      add the envelope sender of this message to the list of known ids
	      before  exiting, so that qconfirm-check(1) automatically accepts
	      further messages from this sender.

       -v     verbose.	Print verbose messages to standard output.

CONFIGURATION
       qconfirm-check-mid reads its configuration from files in the  subdirec‐
       tory  conf/ of the qconfirm directory (normally ``~/.qconfirm/conf/'').
       Only the first line of a configuration file is considered.

       QCONFIRM_MID
	      The configuration file QCONFIRM_MID is optional, and may contain
	      a space-separated list of mids.

ENVIRONMENT
       SENDER qconfirm-check-mid assumes the environment variable SENDER to be
	      set to the envelope sender mail address.	If $SENDER is not set,
	      qconfirm-check-mid complains and exits 100.

       QCONFIRM_MID
	      The  environment variable QCONFIRM_MID is optional, and may con‐
	      tain a space-separated list of mids.  The	 environment  variable
	      overrides the configuration file QCONFIRM_MID.

       QCONFIRM_DIR
	      The  environment	variable  QCONFIRM_DIR	overrides  the default
	      location of the user's qconfirm directory (``.qconfirm'').
