Hi, I was wondering if this approach for creating the plug-in would work: When the plugin is installed, its .config file will check if required interfaces are present in the local machine and find and install the code of plug-in at required place in local machine. A new Rule gets added(by .config file) in src/mailman/rules that uses IRule interface which checks our requirements(i.e. confidential information check, banned words etc). This rule will be added in src/mailman/chain. The rule is checked when chain runs and takes the action set corresponding to the rule. We make a module implementing IHandler that modifies the text before forwarding it in the pipeline in which the whole process is running.
