A couple of different ideas: 1) set up a dual-config system; have the MTA listen for incoming messages with the spamass-milter to filter them, have the MSA listen for locally submitted messages and have it configured without the milter so it does not filter them. 2) customize the milter as proposed by Chris Adams in his post to comp.mail.sendmail: http://groups.google.com/groups?q=macro++Milter+bypass&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&scoring=d&selm=vpts2mdibgq53e%40corp.supernews.com&rnum=2 Then set up a sendmail rule to recognize locally generated messages and set the 'skip_check' macro. I use the dual config setup, one daemon for incoming messages and one for outgoing ones. I use miltrassassin and am in the process of hacking it to add support for the 'skip_check' macro idea. (we have a local campus listserv that spews out copious messages for the students with great regularity and when it runs it hammers my SA server. I want to skip_check its babbeling. ;) I've already customized miltrassassin to add support for envelope sender & recipient passing into SA, makes whitelist construction much easier. ;) Dave -- Dave Funk University of Iowa <dbfunk (at) engineering.uiowa.edu> College of Engineering 319/335-5751 FAX: 319/384-0549 1256 Seamans Center Sys_admin/Postmaster/cell_admin Iowa City, IA 52242-1527 #include <std_disclaimer.h> Better is not better, 'standard' is better.
