Dobos, I have found the two messages you posted about this. The first
is:
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=1417654
The second is:
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=1697947
The problem with both messages is that they appear to be cut off early
(in the archives at least), part of the way through file #4 and
completely missing file #5.
Did the courier people work any of this code into courier? (Courier
people: did you have an objection to the changes he proposed?)
Did you submit the changes to mailscanner? I know they want to work
with more MTAs, and having a set of changes that could be invoked
conditionally (ie. a new conf file entry that says "do this the courier
way instead of the sendmail way"). I'm sure they would welcome changes
that they can incorporate into mailscanner so that they can work with
courier without having to do the work themselves (I think the next MTA
on their list is postfix, and they expect that to take a while ... so
if you were to provide them with a courier solution that works, I bet
they'd consider it). Though, they completely re-wrote mailscanner for
version 4, so you might have to re-do your mailscanner modifications.
Without these changes being worked into the main code bases, I'm not
going to touch them. It's not because I doubt your ability as a coder,
but because it becomes a long term maintenance nightmare (when I
upgrade either package, I would have to re-patch the new version, hope
that the new version hasn't changed enough to invalidate the patch, and
maybe have to wait for you to create new patches or re-create the
patches myself if the new version invalidated the old patches ... which
may lead to a big problem if I don't have time to re-create the patches
and you aren't supporting them anymore ... and in the mean time, I
can't move quickly on upgrading my systems, which might be a problem if
the upgrade involves critical security issues).
Either the respective groups need to adopt them as options, or a
middle-man needs to be developed which will act as an intermediary
between courier and mailscanner.
I'm willing to help in any way I can with either of those approaches,
but I'm not going to introduce 3rd party patches to my production
systems.
