[Mimedefang] Question regarding stream_by_recipient()

[Kevin A. McGrail]

I believe just calling the stream_by_recipient is going to reinject the
emails as seperate emails per user so your second parameter will never get
checked.  The only possibility is you would have to do something RIGHT at
the begining of filter_begin() but even with that, David would be best to
say if the logic has a hope of working.

Here's my best first pass at a solution:

my (%users_to_stream, $i, $stream, $sanitized_user);
$users_to_stream{'bob at bob.com'} = 1;
$users_to_stream{'dave at bob.com'} = 1;

for ($i = 0; $i<($#Recipients +1); $i++) {
  #Strip Angle Brackets -- Untested
  $sanitized_user = $Receipients[$i];
  $sanitized_user =~ s/(^<|>$)//;

  if ($users_to_stream{$sanitized_user}) {
    $stream++;
  }
}

if ($stream) {
  if (stream_by_recipient()) {
    return;
  }
}

Regards,
KAM
