I needed to block email based on the Subject header. The solution is simple: Edit main.cf as root and uncomment or add:
|
|
header_checks = regexp:/etc/postfix/header_checks |
Next, creaate or edit /etc/postfix/header_checks as root and add the following line:
|
|
/subject:\sbad subject text here/ REJECT header_checks NO SPAM ALLOWED /subject:\stest subject text here/ DISCARD header_checks NO SPAM ALLOWED |
Finally, run sudo postfix reload NOTE: Do NOT add the “i” after the regular expression! It is case-insensitive by […]

Use AutoRaise! From the docs: “When you hover a window it will be raised to the front (with a delay of your choosing) and gets the focus.” Web page: https://github.com/sbmpost/AutoRaise Download: https://github.com/sbmpost/AutoRaise/archive/refs/heads/master.zip
|
|
unzip -d ~ ~/Downloads/AutoRaise-master.zip cd ~/AutoRaise-master && make clean && make make install |
My ~/.AutoRaise file:
|
|
#AutoRaise config file delay=3 |

I needed a way to get the dock icon to bounce for all incoming emails and there did not seem to be any option to do so. There is actually a simple way to do it, but it is not intuitive. The key is to add a new Rule! Open Mail.app and choose Mail -> […]

The aws s3 sync command is slow and painful! I needed a more efficient way to sync to large buckets (prod to dev). Finally settled on RClone: https://rclone.org/docs/
|
|
cd {extracted zip dir} ./rclone config cat ~/.config/rclone/rclone.conf |
During rclone config I called remote “s3” ;-}
|
|
./rclone sync -v --progress --fast-list --checksum s3:wyzaerd-demo-prod s3:wyzaerd-demo-dev |

I wanted to use the same SSH keys for multiple AWS regions. As it turns out, AWS simply stores the public key when you download the private key as a .pem file. The solution is to simply generate the public key locally from the existing .pem, then import the public key using the same name […]
