Bad HELO

Ok, I'm a dufus.

All email servers (even ones that I don't expect to send email to the outside world, apparently) must do a correct HELO. That means they must have a FQDN as the hostname. Par example...

shell prompt>  uname -n
mail.example.com

shell prompt>  hostname -s
mail

shell prompt>  hostname -d
example.com

shell prompt>  hostname -f
mail.example.com

shell prompt>  hostname
mail.example.com

Forwarding

At least on sendmail based systems or similer, a ~/.forward file containing a target email address will forward all email.

echo "dmartin@sccd.ctc.edu" > ~/.forward

Imap Filtering

Found imapfilter. Requires the lua programming language.

Lua look pretty cool. It's for writing config files. It's so extensible, so you can write functions right into the config file.

A few installation notes:
