Currently we're using a heavily-modified version of amavis-perl, plugged into sendmail.
We're finally moving to a new system and I thought we might try to advance in baby steps. I like the easily-modified nature of the perl script and we have cycles to burn, so I'm not concerned about using an inefficient script instead of a nice daemon. That said, the script has its own quirks. It's been modified to scan some kinds of messages and not others, use non-default unpacking software, scan the entire message as a whole instead of just the individual parts, and some other things. Additionally, messages that would otherwise be delayed start piling up in /var/spool/mqueue and need to be manually purged with a cron job. Despite all this duct tape, it's a comfortable installation because even though it's all ugly, it's also all out in the open and easy to modify. What's the best way to duplicate this situation, but advance at least a little bit towards modernity? Ideally, it would be some kind of text script that can be edited for our bizarre specs or possibly a binary with a config file so entensive and granular that we'd be able to get away with a lot of weirdness that way. amavis.org was painfully out-of-date when we set this whole thing up, and it doesn't look like things have improved much. It looks like amavis-0.3.x is the way to go at this point, but I wanted some feedback on that before I put much effort into it. Any suggestions (other than to bite the bullet and use the daemon)?
