One MTA process | grabs the mail and delivers it to the scanning engine, and if all is | well a separate process is fired up to deliver the email onward. | | Courier's Filters are in-line, and they make the entire email mime | bundle available to the filter script. | | I use Courier's perlfilter. And, since the filtering happens as part of | the MTA receiving function of Courier, if you return an error code from | your filter script, it will reject messages directly, not bounce them | later. | | I'm sure some folks on this list have claimed to have integrated things | like spamassasin into the Courier Filter too. | | My own filter script is based on the sample perlfilter script supplied | with courier. I do some simple pattern matching in the headers, check | the file types based on both the name (*.exe for example) and the output | for the 'file' command on each mime attachment, and I also pass the mail | through and Anti-Virus engine (Sophos SAVI in my case). I have never | had the chance to integrate spamassasin, but I'd like to do it one | day... | | Courier can to the RBL lookups itself, so I don't bother trying to | re-invent the wheel in the filter script. | | If you're interested, I will send a copy of my filter script to you. I | make no great claims about it - it works for me and you are welcome to | it if you wish. | | Patrick. | Perimeter Networks
Patrick, I would certainly appreciate a copy. I'm sure it would help me understand courier filtering better. I, too, would like to integrate spamassasin. Could someone share their spamassasin implementation with us? I've tried a couple of times but without success.
