Um... isn't maildrop running embedded... which means rejecting is then safe since it goes to the sending MTA and not some dubious from address or whatever. > If you want to reject mail based on attachments, you should use a > courierfilter. [snip] Thanks for the pointers... although at the moment I'm too exhausted to even think about mucking about with courierfilters. Its 2am here, so I'm off to bed. Final thought of the night: wouldn't rejecting on prohibited filenames/extensions be better off being incorporated into esmtpd... its not exactly an uncommon thing to do. >> I had hope >> that getting a MTA up on my new Linux box would be a fairly simple processs, >> but its sadly more long winded and complicated than I expected :( > > Welcome to the internet. :) I don't think it has much to do with the Internet, but more to do with Courier... its a bit of an ugly beast when it comes to getting it configured.
