Package: wnpp Severity: normal I request an adopter for the policyd-weight package, a Perl policy daemon for the Postfix MTA. The package is implemented in Perl. Upstream is inactive since years, features have been implemented by myself on request and need. The package is in good shape although there are a few open bugs which are easy to fix and will be a good start for a new maintainer. Since Postfix itself has postscreen implemented for the same purpose the usage of this package will constantly decrease, probably.
The package description is: policyd-weight is intended to eliminate forged envelope senders and HELOs (i.e. in bogus mails). It allows you to score DNSBLs (RBL/RHSBL), HELO, MAIL FROM and client IP addresses before any queuing is done. It allows you to REJECT messages which have a score higher than allowed, providing improved blocking of spam and virus mails. policyd-weight caches the most frequent client/sender combinations (SPAM as well as HAM) to reduce the number of DNS queries.
