I'm running an Exim server (4.6x) for multiple users, with a MySQL database backend. The database holds local domains, mail addresses, passwords, maildirs and a flag whether spam scanning is enabled for that account. SpamAssassin is called at SMTP time to scan the message and add its headers. But to be able to determine whether scanning should be done, I need to lookup the recipient address in the database and check that flag. This can of course only be done with a single recipient address at a time. And scanning itself can only be done when the message has been received (DATA ACL). So my scanner currently only runs if the current message should be delivered to one single RCPT TO. Today I received several mails in my mailboxes that seem to have gone to multiple envelope addresses, because my scanner didn't catch them.
I want to make my spam scanner more effective. Is there any way to check the flag for multiple addresses in the DATA ACL and control the processing for each recipient independently? Maybe I can deny further recipients to a message at RCPT ACL time when one of them has the spam scanner flag set. Or can I generally limit the recipients per message count to 1? Would that cause any problems? A future change to my server should be to enable spam scanning for every incoming message but only deny messages depending on whether the user has wished so. Maybe even with separate required spam scores or so. This will require an independent handling of a message for each recipient anyway. -- Yves Goergen "LonelyPixel" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://beta.unclassified.de – My web laboratory. -- ## List details at http://www.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://www.exim.org/eximwiki/
