trash-email-alias

a dovecot sieve 's script and configuration to generate a temporary random alias

usage

Just send an email to the configured em-mail generator. It will respond you and indicate what is your alias. You can test it by sending a mail to [ getalias Arobaze tinad.fr ]

Configure

You need an e-mail server with dovecot and sieve. The mail box structure is the classical one. Add a colomn named "temporary" type Boolean, default 0 to the table alias. So alias table structure is:

+-----------+--------------+------+-----+---------------------+-------+ | Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra | +-----------+--------------+------+-----+---------------------+-------+ | address | varchar(255) | NO | PRI | | | | goto | text | NO | | NULL | | | domain | varchar(255) | NO | | | | | created | datetime | NO | | 0000-00-00 00:00:00 | | | modified | datetime | NO | | 0000-00-00 00:00:00 | | | active | tinyint(1) | NO | | 1 | | | temporary | tinyint(1) | NO | | 0 | | +-----------+--------------+------+-----+---------------------+-------+

On /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf my plugin section looks like:

  plugin {
(...)
sieve = ~/dovecot.sieve
sieve_after = /var/www/vmail/sieve/global.sieve
sieve_dir = ~/sieve
#vacation
sieve_extensions = +vacation-seconds
sieve_vacation_min_period = 30m
sieve_vacation_default_period = 10d
sieve_vacation_max_period = 30d

#ExtPrograms
sieve_plugins = sieve_extprograms
sieve_global_extensions = +vnd.dovecot.pipe +vnd.dovecot.filter +vnd.dovecot.execute

sieve_pipe_bin_dir = /etc/sieve-pipe/bin
sieve_filter_bin_dir = /etc/sieve-pipe/filter
sieve_execute_bin_dir = /etc/sieve-pipe/execute
(...)
  }

Change your mysql credentials on cron/purge.sh and execute/genalias.sh In my case, this files are owned by the unix user "dovecot".

Add purge.sh on your crontab. Evrey 10 minutes is enougth.
