postal-list(1) Postal postal-list(1) NAME postal-list - program to show how postal expands user names SYNOPSIS postal-list user-list-filename conversion-filename DESCRIPTION This program shows the expansion that the postal program uses on email ad- dresses. This can be used to make sure that you're configuration files do what you expect them to, and can also be used to produce a list of user-names for an account creation script (in case you want to create a million test accounts in a conveniant fashion). The user-list-filename is the name of a file which contains a list of user's email addresses. This can be just user-names or fully qualified email addresses. The conversion-filename parameter will be the name of a file containing the conversions to apply to email addresses. Each line in the file can either be a comment (starting with "#") or is to contain two parameters. The first parameter is the regular expression. For each email that is to be sent a randomly selected user-name will be checked against all regular ex- pressions, the first match will determine the translation that is to be ap- plied. The translation will be the second parameter on the line. It will contain a number of "." characters specifying characters in the name that are not to be translated. To specify the translations a range of charac- ters can be specified inside square brackets. For example to have every address starting with "a" have a character from "01234567890abc" as it's second character and a character from "xyz" as it's third character you would have the following: ^a .[0-9abc][xyz] RETURN CODES 0 No Error 1 Bad Parameters AUTHOR This program, it's manual page, and the Debian package were written by Rus- sell Coker <russell@coker.com.au>.
