First, thanks for all the responses so far. I'm going to Keep It Simple for now and just use a config file rather than a database. Our user base is small enough that we can handle this through requests sent to the IT staff. Dirk the Daring wrote: >Since you mention NetWare, is it a good idea

[Mimedefang] Per-recipient customization

2006-03-28 Thread David Eisner
Background: I have MIMEDefang running (with multiplexor and embedded Perl interpreter) on a Linux box that serves, by way of a mailertable, as an MX for another server. This second server runs Netware, hosts the actual mailboxes, and provides pop service. Whether or not you think it's a good ide

[Mimedefang] SpamAssassin DnsResolver.pm problem with Embedded Interpreter

2006-02-07 Thread David Eisner
I setup Mimedefang 2.55 with SpamAssassin 3.1.0 on a non-production Centos 3.6 Linux box. The machine in question has only 128MB of RAM, so I'd like to get the embedded interpreter working. Also, this is how the production version will be configured (not the 128MB RAM part, though :-). When

Hi. I've setup MIMEDefang 2.42 and SpamAssassin 2.63 on a Red Hat 9 box, and I'm tring to get things working. When I run spamassassin by hand as the defang user, it seems to be doing the bayes check. But when it's run by mimedefang, it doesn't seem to be working (I haven't seen a spamassasin repo
