qconfirm-check-mid(1)	     General Commands Manual	   qconfirm-check-mid(1)

NAME
     qconfirm-check-mid - checks headers of a mail message for known references

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

DESCRIPTION
     Normally qconfirm-check-mid is run by qconfirm-check(1) before requesting 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 standard input.

     qconfirm-check-mid  reads	the headers of the message available on standard
     input, and checks for each ``In-Reply-To'' and ``References'' header if  it
     contains a Message-ID that matches one of the space-separated mids in QCON-
     FIRM_MID  if set, or one of the mids given at the command 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 subdirectory
     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, qcon-
	    firm-check-mid complains and exits 100.

     QCONFIRM_MID
	    The environment variable QCONFIRM_MID is optional, and may contain 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'').
