If I have an ordinary account with a .mailfilters directory in which rcptfilter returns an exit code of 99 (message not whitelisted) then smtpfilter will be checked and is expected to return an exit code of 0 to approve (but not whitelist) the message. I have a couple of questions concerning courierfilter's relationship to this maildrop filtering.
In order for a system courierfilter (in /var/lib/filters rather than /var/lib/allfilters) to be in the loop, my understanding is that rcptfilter _must_ return an exit code of 99. This is necessary. Is it also sufficient? In other words, if there is _no_ local content filter file (smtpfilter) is its absence simply ignored and mail delivered as if smtpfilter were there and had terminated with a zero exit code? The man page for localmailfilter states that "Content filtering is not available for alias addresses". If I have a alias virtual mail account [EMAIL PROTECTED] with .courier delivery rules therein, and a .mailfilter/rcptfilter for this alias account which exits with an exit code of 99 for all mail, will this mail be examined by my system courierfilter. This is important. Although Sam grits his teeth over it, I'm using virtual alias accounts for setting up mailing lists, and I would like to maintain my present practice of filtering submissions to my lists for viruses, even though the lists themselves disallow executable attachments. My virus filter is an elaboration of courierperlfilter. I have _one_ customer who wishes to be exempt from filtering, so I can't put my courierperlfilter socket in allfilters. -- Lindsay Haisley | "Everything works | PGP public key FMP Computer Services | if you let it" | available at 512-259-1190 | (The Roadie) | <http://www.fmp.com/pubkeys> http://www.fmp.com | | _______________________________________________________________ Have big pipes?
