Subject: Tamarind: throwaway mail alias manager written in TXR.

Hi all,

This is a very simple little thing that runs on my Debian + Apache + Exim setup.

http://www.kylheku.com/cgit/tamarind/tree/

It is developed as a CGI program, without any web framework. TXR code scans the request with URL parameters, CGI environment variables containing header information, and POST data, and generates HTML.

You log in with your Linux user ID and password (obtaining a persistent, cookie-based session), and then use the simple forms-based UI to manage a list of randomly-generated mail aliases which instantly map to your real e-mail account. Mail sent to aliases is more reliable, since it bypasses spam filtering on the mail server. When you delete an alias, it is gone forever; mail sent to it bounces.

You can associate a one-liner memo with each alias, where you can stick in any information you want. Tamarind also remembers and displays the creation date of each alias.
