The trim_addr subroutine reduces an email address to its minimum expression, based on the local host name. This assumes that if your host name is "host.sub.domain.edu", then "user@sub.domain.edu" is a local host, so the whole "@domain.edu" part can be eliminated (that is our local setup). For example, given the same hostname, the following addresses are reduced as shown:
zamboni@host			zamboni
zamboni@sub.domain.edu		zamboni
zamboni@sub2.domain.edu		zamboni@sub2
zamboni@something.else.com	zamboni@something.else.com
use Net::Domain qw(hostfqdn); sub trim_addr { # Get the host domain my $sbHostname=hostfqdn(); my @addrs=@_; my ($sbHost, $sbSubdomain, $sbDomain)= ($sbHostname=~/^([^.]+\.((?:[^.]+\.)?([^.]+\.[^.]+)))$/); unless ($sbDomain) { die "Could not obtain the local domain from hostname '$sbHostname' +\n"; } $sbSubdomain=$sbDomain unless $sbSubdomain; ($sub=$sbSubdomain)=~s/\.?$sbDomain$//; ($host=$sbHost)=~s/\.?$sbSubdomain//; foreach (@addrs) { s/[@]$sbHost// || s/[@.]$sbSubdomain$// || s/[.]$sbDomain$// || s/[@.]$sub$// || s/[@]$host$// ; } return @addrs; }
