Re: Legal disclaimers

[Ross McKillop <home@xxxxxxx>]

This is based on a LINUX mailserver, your MTA may be different, but
there is a way of doing this for all MTAs I think... If you want to try
this I'll make it live on my server and you can send a couple of
tests....

Create a perl script as follows;

#!/usr/bin/perl
while (<STDIN>){
if ($_ =~ "The Royal Bank of Scotland plc, Registered in Scotland
No. 90312"){
exit;
}
else { print ;}
}

This will just output what it recieves until it hits that line... then
it stops the output, this can then be parsed to something else...

Forward all mail to that script, and then forward the output of that
script to sendmail (or whatever mailer you're using on your server) it
should be that simple :P
