- # [Mail Merge Support]
- #
- # Description: "Enable MailShield mail merge support"
- # Keywords: "ads, advertising, flycast, http, merge, mail merge"
- # Category: "Basic configuration"
- # Format: "{TRUE OR FALSE}"
- #
- # Determines whether MailShield's support for mail merge codes in email
- # should be enabled or not. Enabling mail merge support means that
- # MailShield will check every message going through it to see if the
- # email message contains a MailShield mail merge code in it. For example,
- # MailShield supports obtaining text from the HTTP GET command as a mail
- # merge code. One use of this feature is insert HTTP based advertisements
- # into your email messages.
- #
- # Here is an example of a MailShield HTTP mail merge code:
- #
- # <!-- merge type="httpget" url="http://www.corp.com/cgi-bin/getad" -->
- #
- # The code above instructs MailShield to perform an HTTP GET command on the
- # URL http://www.corp.com/cgi-bin/getad and to replace the mail merge
- # code with whatever text is returned by the URL. If the URL is invalid,
- # or the URL does not return any text, the mail merge code will be replaced
- # with a blank.
- #
- # The URL must be a http:// style URL. A port number may be specified
- # on the URL, as in: http://www.corp.com:81/cgi-bin/getad and is optional.
- #
- # If multiple recipients are listed in the email message, the mail merge
- # code will be fetched once for each recipient, and separate email messages
- # will be generated for each recipient.
- #
- # An optional parameter for this mail merge code is the cookie="xxx"
- # option. Specify cookie="xxx" and MailShield will send this "xxx" value
- # as the cookie to the web server when performing the HTTP GET command.
- # You can optionally use the code $subst('recip.emailaddr') in the
- # cookie= line and MailShield will replace it with the email address
- # of the recipient of that email message.
- #
- # An example of a mail merge code with a cookie is:
- #
- # <!-- merge type="httpget" url="http://www.corp.com/cgi-bin/getad" cookie="$subst('recip.emailaddr') -->
- #
- # By default, the MailShield mail merge feature is disabled, and is
- # set to FALSE. Set it to TRUE to enable the MailShield mail merge
- # feature.
- #
- # Instructions: "Please enter the word TRUE or the word FALSE below."
- FALSE
