💌 MAILDIR-FILTER(1) 💌

okay so bestie, welcome to the General Commands Manual page for maildir-filter — the little program that filters mail inside Maildir folders. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

maildir-filter — a program to filter mail in Maildir folders. 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

maildir-filter -r <regexp> [-d ./Maildir/.folder | -b] [-D] [-p] [-i]
[-V] [-n] [-H]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So here's the vibe: maildir-filter filters messages that live in Maildir folders. It reads the message from stdin, and it uses qmail's exit code conventions, which means it can totally run from your .qmail file. iykyk. 👑

What can it do with a message? Three moods, honestly: it can bounce it, deliver it, or just yeet it straight to /dev/null. No cap. 💀

💖 OPTIONS 💖

The programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax. A summary of options are included below. (Yes bestie, all of them. We don't gatekeep here. ✨)

  • -r <regexp> — use this regexp to match the message. It follows perl syntax. 🧚
  • -D — turn on a few debug messages. 👀
  • -b — bounce if it matches.
  • -p — print the message to stdout.
  • -i — case insensitive match.
  • -V — print version and exit.
  • -n — negate the regexp (!~ m// in perl talk). 🙈
  • -H — only try to match the headers.
  • -k — kill the message. 💀
