Thanks, I will do that. I certainly would not want to white-list all
authenticated users, so using "....@domain" would probably be overkill,
although I can see the usefulness of the concept for other users. The
option to white-list all authenticated uses without listing each user
individually might be a good option for the milter. Personally, I
would prefer to maintain a separate file to make maintaining the list
easier.
How clamav-milter would handle an external file is also a concern.
Would it read it only upon start up, or reread it whenever it is
modified? The latter method would eliminate the need to restart the
milter if the file is modified making system management easier. Perhaps
having it reread the file a preset interval like clamd does with it's
definition files would be acceptable.
