25 ;;; Commentary:
27 ;; The code in this file provides a semi-automatic means of replying
28 ;; to unsolicited commercial email (UCE) you might get. Currently, it
29 ;; only works with Rmail and Gnus. If you would like to make it work
30 ;; with other mail readers, see the mail-client dependent section of
31 ;; uce-reply-to-uce. Please let me know about your changes so I can
32 ;; incorporate them. I'd appreciate it.
34 ;; The command uce-reply-to-uce, if called when the current message
35 ;; buffer is a UCE, will setup a reply *mail* buffer as follows. It
36 ;; scans the full headers of the message for: 1) the normal return
37 ;; address of the sender (From, Reply-To lines), and puts these
38 ;; addresses into the To: header, along with abuse@offenders.host; 2)
39 ;; the mailhub that first saw this message, and adds the address of
40 ;; its postmaster into the To: header; and 3), finally, it looks at
41 ;; the Message-Id and adds the postmaster of that host to the list of
42 ;; addresses.
44 ;; Then, we add an "Errors-To: nobody@localhost" header, so that if
45 ;; some of these addresses are not actually correct, we will never see
46 ;; bounced mail. Also, mail-self-blind and mail-archive-file-name
47 ;; take no effect: the ideology is that we don't want to save junk or
48 ;; replies to junk.
50 ;; Then we insert a template into the buffer (a customizable message
51 ;; that explains what has happened), customizable signature, and the
52 ;; original message with full headers and envelope for postmasters.
53 ;; Then the buffer is left for editing.
55 ;; The reason that the function uce-reply-to-uce is mail-client
56 ;; dependent is that we want the full headers of the original message,
57 ;; nothing stripped. If we use the normal means of inserting the
58 ;; original message into the *mail* buffer, headers like Received:
59 ;; (not really headers, but envelope lines) will be stripped, while
60 ;; they bear valuable information for us and postmasters. I do wish
61 ;; that there would be some portable way to write this function, but I
62 ;; am not aware of any.
64 ;; Usage:
66 ;; Place uce.el in your load-path (and optionally byte-compile it).
67 ;; Add the following line to your ~/.emacs:
68 ;; (autoload 'uce-reply-to-uce "uce" "Reply to UCEs" t nil)
69 ;; If you want to use it with Gnus rather than Rmail:
70 ;; (setq uce-mail-reader 'gnus)
72 ;; Options:
74 ;; uce-message-text is a template that will be inserted into buffer.
75 ;; It has a reasonable default. If you want to write some scarier
76 ;; one, please do so and send it to me. Please keep it polite.
78 ;; uce-signature behaves just like mail-signature. If nil, nothing is
79 ;; inserted, if t, file ~/.signature is used, if a string, its
80 ;; contents are inserted into buffer.
82 ;; uce-uce-separator is a line that separates your message from the
83 ;; UCE that you enclose.
85 ;; uce-subject-line will be used as the subject of the outgoing message.
88 ;;; Change Log:
90 ;; Dec 10, 1996 -- posted draft version to gnu.sources.emacs
92 ;; Dec 11, 1996 -- fixed some typos, and Francesco Potorti`
93 ;; <F.Potorti@cnuce.cnr.it> pointed out that my use of defvar was
94 ;; weird, suggested fix, and added let form.
96 ;; Dec 17, 1996 -- made scanning for host names little bit more clever
97 ;; (obviously bogus stuff like localhost is now ignored).
99 ;; Nov 11, 1997 -- incorporated changes from Mikael Djurfeldt
100 ;; <mdj@nada.kth.se> to make uce.el work with Gnus. Changed the text
101 ;; of message that is sent.
103 ;; Dec 3, 1997 -- changes from Gareth Jones <gdj1@gdjones.demon.co.uk>
104 ;; handling Received headers following some line like `From:'.
106 ;; Aug 16, 2000 -- changes from Detlev Zundel
107 ;; <detlev.zundel@stud.uni-karlsruhe.de> to make uce.el work with the
108 ;; latest Gnus. Lars told him it should work for all versions of Gnus
109 ;; younger than three years.

144 reading your message may be illegal. Anyway, it is highly annoying
145 and not welcome by anyone. It is rude, after all.
147 If you think that this is a good way to advertise your products or
148 services you are mistaken. Spamming will only make people hate you, not
149 buy from you.
151 If you have any list of people you send unsolicited commercial emails to,
152 REMOVE me from such list immediately. I suggest that you make this list
153 just empty.

157 If you are not an administrator of any site and still have received
158 this message then your email address is being abused by some spammer.
159 They fake your address in From: or Reply-To: header. In this case,
160 you might want to show this message to your system administrator, and
161 ask him/her to investigate this matter.
163 Note to the postmaster(s): I append the text of UCE in question to
164 this message; I would like to hear from you about action(s) taken.
165 This message has been sent to postmasters at the host that is
166 mentioned as original sender's host (I do realize that it may be
167 faked, but I think that if your domain name is being abused this way
168 you might want to learn about it, and take actions) and to the
169 postmaster whose host was used as mail relay for this message. If
170 message was sent not by your user, could you please compare time when
171 this message was sent (use time in Received: field of the envelope
172 rather than Date: field) with your sendmail logs and see what host was
173 using your sendmail at this moment of time.
