Hi!
I am running a courier setup, where I have installed some mail filters,
that are responsible to do spam and virus checking as well as
greylisting. With vanilla courier I have to problem, that also all mail
that is sent by my clients get checked by these filters. While this does
not hurt much for the spam/virus checking (only a small delay in
accepting the mails), this is a big problem when doing greylisting.
Because courier does not pass information to the filter, if the mail has
been received authenticated, I had to check the first received header
instead and search for "(AUTH:" in there. I consider this to be a hack,
and it is not a very beautiful solution.
The better solution would be to configure courier to not pass mails to
the filters, that are received from clients. This is why I would like to
propose the following extension to courier:
Introduce a new configuration keyword "SKIPMAILFILTER", which configures
courier to not filter received messages by this process. This
configuration keyword can then be added to the esmtpd-msa configuration
file to disable filtering of mails received by customers.
The attached small patch implements this keyword.
