The submit process is responsible for inserting a new message into the mail queue. submit gets invoked by sendmail, courieresmtpd, or the courierdsn modules, as a child process. [...] Not that it's impossible to do this, but it is more than a trivial change or an addition, and will require some non-trivial effort to do that in an efficient manner.
Hello Sam and thank you for the thorough explanation.
Does submit then connect to the globalfilter (run_filter in submit2.C)? In
Yes, it's submit that talks to filters.
that case I would propose to implement a simple protocol on the socket where submit waits for any additional information from the filter (as it seems to be waiting for the smtp response code on a pipe) that it then could insert into the memory structure it still has at hand. I suppose this would be in cdfilters.C and submit2.C. Correct?
Well, it's not as easy as "insert"ing something into something else. The stuff in question is a hierarchical tree, that contains offsets, field contents, etcâ
