Qmail Address Lister

What it does:

What does this prog­gie do? Well, it lists qmail's user­s, that's what!

Some­times, for some rea­son, you will want a list of all valid ad­dress­es on a qmail sys­tem. This is not that. It stops too soon (see be­low), but it is close.

I wrote this to use with some squir­rel­mail plug­in, so the out­put may not be what you ex­pec­t, but it's easy to change.

It does, how­ev­er, give you all first-lev­el mail ad­dress­es (no sub­-ad­dress­es like joe-s­pam@s­pamjoe.­com), be­cause there are po­ten­tial­ly an in­fi­nite num­ber of those. Al­so, it ig­nores alias­es.

It tries to fig­ure out if some­thing is re­al­ly wrong with your user­s, and warn you.

How this works:

As­sum­ing you are us­ing a "clas­si­cal" mul­ti­-us­er qmail sys­tem, ev­ery do­main list­ed in /var/q­mail/­con­trol/lo­cals is valid for all user­s. So, I get the list of users and cross it with that list, to get a bunch of ad­dress­es.

For each do­main in /var/q­mail/­con­trol/vir­tu­al­do­main­s, there is a pre­fix. Usu­al­ly (I as­sume this), that pre­fix will match a user's name, and all sub­-ad­dress­es of that user, as de­fined in his .q­mail-* files, are valid ad­dress­es for this do­main.

So, I fetch that. For each do­main (say, vir­tu­al­do­main) I get the pre­fix (say pre­f), I read all .q­mail files in /home­/pref (say .q­mail-ex­t) and add an ad­dress of the form p-ex­t@vir­tu­al­do­main .

Keep in mind that .q­mail files feed­ing pro­grams or what­ev­er will con­fuse the be­jeezus out of this scrip­t. How­ev­er, the net ef­fect should sim­ply be some weird ad­dress in the out­put, noth­ing else.

The code:

It is not meant to be fast, or short, but it is meant to be writ­ten clear­ly!

The vari­able names are in span­ish for rea­son of lazy­ness ;-)
