Here is a patch to allow admins to customize the blocking SMTP response
reason in a config variable. It is particularly useful for people using
amavisd-new in milter and proxy contexts that want to customize their
reject messages. (Especially adding a contact address).
The implementation adds the config hash %smtp_reason_by_ccat, a mapping of
CC_ => 'reason string' to use when amavisd-new blocks content. The reason
strings are subject to template-style expansion, so all the builtins work
normally (%T, %d, etc). In order to access the original reason amavisd-new
would have used for the given ccat, I've added a builtin 'x', available
only in this context. (I have no idea what letter to use and chose x more
or less arbitrarily)
One important detail of the implementation is that:
%smtp_reason_by_ccat = (
CC_VIRUS, '%x'
);
will NOT give you the original behavior, for that you need:
%smtp_reason_by_ccat = (
CC_VIRUS, 'id=%n, %x'
);
The rationale being that if people want to customize their reason, they
might also want to customize the id
format. (We did.)
Incorporating %x into SMTP reasons is usually good because amavisd places
message specific data there, such as virus name, banning reason, blacklist
status, etc.
The patch uses the same sanity checking on the length of custom, expanded
SMTP reason strings that is used on the default messages.
This patch does not do any changing of the SMTP response status (eg "554
5.7.0").
It seems like this is pretty commonly requested functionality. The
"customize the code" approach does not work for us, as we wanted to have
the ability to easily change SMTP responses on a scheduled basis. (i'm a
lot more comfortable with a script writing out a config file and reloading
amavisd, rather than a script that modifies the code and reloads...)
