Define message contents. Attachments? You can selectively drop a certain class of attachments (exe, vbs....) by using body checks. If you have plain text, write a small program that does pattern matching, and use the content_filter interface to pass the mail to that program.

Hmmm, maybe you could use a content filter for this. Content filter sends mail to a program which holds the mail back until an admin approves it. Grab this from any mailing list manager (I suggest mailman, so your management can decide whether to approve the mail or not). The MLM then injects mail into the outbound server, which delivers it further. > cannot be done if I do did say so then I will have to find a job elsewhere > and in the present IT situatation I cannot give such a bold answer to the > comapny.And that is the main reason I switched to postfix than the reliable > sendmail as postfix gives an option to backup all incoming and outgoing > mails. /me is still on the hunt for a Linux admin that can handle an ISP setup. Needs to know system administration, 1 yr professional exp, or about 2 yrs personal. I think even sendmail can do that backing up. I have other reasons for using postfix though :).
