;;; Commentary:

;; The code in this file provides a semi-automatic means of replying
;; to unsolicited commercial email (UCE) you might get.  Currently, it
;; only works with Rmail and Gnus.  If you would like to make it work
;; with other mail readers, see the mail-client dependent section of
;; uce-reply-to-uce.  Please let me know about your changes so I can
;; incorporate them.  I'd appreciate it.

;; The command uce-reply-to-uce, if called when the current message
;; buffer is a UCE, will setup a reply *mail* buffer as follows.  It
;; scans the full headers of the message for: 1) the normal return
;; address of the sender (From, Reply-To lines), and puts these
;; addresses into the To: header, along with abuse@offenders.host; 2)
;; the mailhub that first saw this message, and adds the address of
;; its postmaster into the To: header; and 3), finally, it looks at
;; the Message-Id and adds the postmaster of that host to the list of
;; addresses.

;; Then, we add an "Errors-To: nobody@localhost" header, so that if
;; some of these addresses are not actually correct, we will never see
;; bounced mail.  Also, mail-self-blind and mail-archive-file-name
;; take no effect: the ideology is that we don't want to save junk or
;; replies to junk.

;; Then we insert a template into the buffer (a customizable message
;; that explains what has happened), customizable signature, and the
;; original message with full headers and envelope for postmasters.
;; Then the buffer is left for editing.

;; The reason that the function uce-reply-to-uce is mail-client
;; dependent is that we want the full headers of the original message,
;; nothing stripped.  If we use the normal means of inserting the
;; original message into the *mail* buffer, headers like Received:
;; (not really headers, but envelope lines) will be stripped, while
;; they bear valuable information for us and postmasters.  I do wish
;; that there would be some portable way to write this function, but I
;; am not aware of any.

;; Usage:

;; Place uce.el in your load-path (and optionally byte-compile it).
;; Add the following line to your init file:
;; (autoload 'uce-reply-to-uce "uce" "Reply to UCEs" t nil)
;; If you want to use it with Gnus rather than Rmail:
;; (setq uce-mail-reader 'gnus)

;; Options:

;; uce-message-text is a template that will be inserted into buffer.
;; It has a reasonable default.  If you want to write some scarier
;; one, please do so and send it to me.  Please keep it polite.

;; uce-signature behaves just like mail-signature.  If nil, nothing is
;; inserted, if t, file ~/.signature is used, if a string, its
;; contents are inserted into buffer.

;; uce-uce-separator is a line that separates your message from the
;; UCE that you enclose.

;; uce-subject-line will be used as the subject of the outgoing message.


;;; Change Log:

;; Dec 10, 1996 -- posted draft version to gnu.sources.emacs

;; Dec 11, 1996 -- fixed some typos, and Francesco Potortì
;; <F.Potorti@cnuce.cnr.it> pointed out that my use of defvar was
;; weird, suggested fix, and added let form.

;; Dec 17, 1996 -- made scanning for host names little bit more clever
;; (obviously bogus stuff like localhost is now ignored).

;; Nov 11, 1997 -- incorporated changes from Mikael Djurfeldt
;; <mdj@nada.kth.se> to make uce.el work with Gnus.  Changed the text
;; of message that is sent.

;; Dec 3, 1997 -- changes from Gareth Jones <gdj1@gdjones.demon.co.uk>
;; handling Received headers following some line like `From:'.

;; Aug 16, 2000 -- changes from Detlev Zundel
;; <detlev.zundel@stud.uni-karlsruhe.de> to make uce.el work with the
;; latest Gnus.  Lars told him it should work for all versions of Gnus
;; younger than three years.

  "Recently, I have received an Unsolicited Commercial E-mail from you.
I do not like UCE's and I would like to inform you that sending
unsolicited messages to someone while he or she may have to pay for
reading your message may be illegal.  Anyway, it is highly annoying
and not welcome by anyone.  It is rude, after all.

If you think that this is a good way to advertise your products or
services you are mistaken.  Spamming will only make people hate you, not
buy from you.

If you have any list of people you send unsolicited commercial emails to,
REMOVE me from such list immediately.  I suggest that you make this list
just empty.

        ----------------------------------------------------

If you are not an administrator of any site and still have received
this message then your email address is being abused by some spammer.
They fake your address in From: or Reply-To: header.  In this case,
you might want to show this message to your system administrator, and
ask him/her to investigate this matter.

Note to the postmaster(s): I append the text of UCE in question to
this message; I would like to hear from you about action(s) taken.
This message has been sent to postmasters at the host that is
mentioned as original sender's host (I do realize that it may be
faked, but I think that if your domain name is being abused this way
you might want to learn about it, and take actions) and to the
postmaster whose host was used as mail relay for this message.  If
message was sent not by your user, could you please compare time when
this message was sent (use time in Received: field of the envelope
rather than Date: field) with your sendmail logs and see what host was
using your sendmail at this moment of time.

Thank you."
