Email address verification script
Hi Group,

Please forgive in case this is discussed.

I need help regarding a simple script to verify if the give address exist in the Ldap directory. If the email exists the script should exit with a 0 status or else a non zero status.

I am currently using the following script (and it is working ).
-----
# cat email_rcpt.sh

#!/bin/bash
# Email verification
sleep 1
LDAP_LOOKUP="/var/qmail/bin/qmail-ldaplookup -m"
EMAIL=$1
export $LDAP_LOOKUP $EMAIL
$LDAP_LOOKUP $EMAIL
---------------------------------
# ./email_rcpt.sh foo@bar.com
# echo $?
# 0
----

This script is working correctly. Except that I have a few domains which have catchall addresses & a few whoes email addresses are not maintained in our LDAP ( external domains). I have a file called /var/qmail/control/goodmailaddr which has list of all such domains whoes email address verifications is skipped .

I need to some how modify the above script to recognise this file . My current work-around for this problem is by adding an catchall entry of all the external domains in my LDAP.

Here is how I need to do this .
when the email address is supplied as argument split the domain part and check if it is present in the goodmailaddr file. If present exit with 0 , if not continue with the lookup.

Thanx in advance for help

Regards
Ram

SCRIPT-EMAIL(8) 					  System Administration Commands					   SCRIPT-EMAIL(8)

NAME

       script-email - Amanda script to send email notifications

DESCRIPTION

       script-email is an Amanda script implementing the Script API. It should not be run by users directly. It sends a notification email to the
       addresses specified in the MAILTO property.

PROPERTIES

       This section lists the properties that control script-email's functionality. See amanda-scripts(7) for information on the Script API,
       script configuration.

       MAILTO

	   List of email addresses that will receive an email on command execution. It is a multi-valued property:
	     property "MAILTO" "amanda@domain.com" "sysadmin@domain.com" "amandauser@domain.com"

EXAMPLE

       In this example, script-email is scheduled to be run before the DLE, on the server.  The unqualified email address amanda will be passed to
       the email system unchanged.  The script is then attached to a dumptype, which can then be specified for any DLEs which require
       notification.
	define script-tool pre-email {
	  comment "email me before this DLE is backed up"
	  plugin  "script-email"
	  execute-on pre-dle-backup
	  execute-where server
	  property "mailto" "amanda"
	}

	define dumptype user-tar-email {
	  user-tar
	  script "pre-email"
	}
