Perl module to interface with Procmailrc files
Scott Wiersdorf (www.perlcode.org) wrote a Perl module to interface with procmailrc files. The name of the module is Mail::Procmailrc (available from CPAN). It comes with a simple CGI (unpolished, insecure, but useful as a proof-of-concept) to allow you to edit procmailrc files from a web interface. You can see an example of the script at:

http://perlcode.org/cgi-bin/procmail.cgi

With little effort, it could be modified to allow multiple recipes, header flag modifications, templatized (separate the HTML from the code itself), etc.

The module (not the CGI) has been used in production environments with thousands of users for almost a year, and Scott says he is comfortable with its stability.

mail::verify

Mail::Verify(3pm)					User Contributed Perl Documentation					 Mail::Verify(3pm)

NAME

       Mail::Verify - Utility to verify an email address

SYNOPSIS

	   use Mail::Verify;

DESCRIPTION

       "Mail::Verify" provides a function CheckAddress function for verifying email addresses.	First the syntax of the email address is checked,
       then it verifies that there is at least one valid MX server accepting email for the domain.  Using Net::DNS and IO::Socket a list of MX
       records (or, falling back on a hosts A record) are checked to make sure at least one SMTP server is accepting connections.

ERRORS

       Here are a list of return codes and what they mean:

       0      The email address appears to be valid.

       1      No email address was supplied.

       2      There is a syntaxical error in the email address.

       3      There are no DNS entries for the host in question (no MX records or A records).

       4      There are no live SMTP servers accepting connections for this email address.

EXAMPLES

       This example shows obtaining an email address from a form field and verifying it.

	 use CGI qw/:standard/;
	 use Mail::Verify;
	 my $q = new CGI;
	 [...]
	 my $email = $q->param("emailaddr");
	 my $email_ck = Mail::Verify::CheckAddress( $email );
	 if( $email_ck ) {
	     print '<h1>Form input error: Invalid email address.</h1>';
	 }
	 [...]
