In Mailman's favor is the convenience of having the filter built-in and, I presume, a more efficient use of resources.
But in favor of Sanitizer (or another filter) is greater flexibility in the processing of attached files. One can quarantine/defang/scan for viruses in misbehaving file attachments.
I've read in the Mailman FAQ about how to filter incoming mail before it hits Mailman (using Procmail), but my question is a more philosophical one:
SHOULD one pre-filter email before it gets to Mailman?
And if one should instead rely on Mailman for filtering, could someone provide samples of what they've used for
filter_mime_types pass_mime_types
Thanks!
P.S. I'm using Mailman 2.2.1 with Postfix on a RedHat 8 system.
