Hello List In the process of tidying up my fresh install I was wondering if the following could be achieved: - All mail that goes through esmtp is virus-checked and rejected if one is found - Mail that is relayed to other hosts is then sent as-is (if virus-free) to the next hop - Mail for local/alias users is delivered via maildrop and spam-checked either against the system default settings or (if so configured by the user) against the user's preferences
The second function is rather trivial, I suppose, as it is the default behaviour of the MTA (courier esmtpd). I think I can realize the third function witch spamd/spamc by using a $sysconfdir/maildrop of "|/usr/local/bin/spamc|/usr/courier/bin/maildrop" and put the filtering rules into $sysconfdir/maildroprc, while users may use their own $HOME/.mailfilter additionally (or overriding maildroprc). My questions are: Is this assumption correct? And where would I (first function on the above list) plug in a virus checker that scans every incoming and outgoing esmtp transaction? Would this be a case for courierfilter? This is covered by various documents on the net, but each and every one uses a different approach, and all of them include one or more patches to the software included. I apologize if there is a basic misunderstandingon my part of the various courier components. Any pointers gladly welcome. thy /markus ------------------------------------------------------- The SF.Net email is sponsored by EclipseCon 2004 Premiere Conference on Open Tools Development and Integration See the breadth of Eclipse activity.
