--- Comment #5 from Martin Kealey <from-exim-bugzi...@kurahaupo.gen.nz> --- Thanks for taking the extra time to make a detailed review my patch. I will make the changes you have requested and upload a new patch file soon. Overall I wanted to achieve three things: 1. fix the "directory read permission" problem. 2. enable a check for S_ISLNK (filter=symlink) and S_ISFIFO (filter=fifo or filter=pipe), and allow it to be daisy-chained so that one can also check the target of the link. 3. check for the existence of a sentinel but then exclude it (ret=dir). When I started on this second point, I realised that each additional supported inode type would need a separate S_ISxxx test, when in fact only one of them could possibly match, so it seemed reasonable to first convert this to a small bitmap that could be checked using a bitwise-and operation. (Having done that, it was trivial to include all the other standard S_IFxxx inode types, and they could be accommodated without runtime overhead.) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. -- ## List details at https://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-dev Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ##
