Well, every mimedefang.pl process will have unnecessary glue code using
up RAM unless you hack mimedefang.pl... which again invites a world of
pain
from your package manager.
I looked inside mimedefang.pl and just wow. I was interested in
mimedefang as it seemed like a simple framework, write some small subs
in perl to capture milter calls, nothing more, clean and simple. But now
i see there is a whole lot going on under the hood making it appear
bloated like spamassasin IMO.
One thing that confuses me is in /etc/sysconfig/mimedefang:SUBFILTER you
can set the path to the mimedefang-filter, however inside mimedefang.pl
it looks like that path is hard coded. So is
/etc/sysconfig/mimedefang:SUBFILTER meaningless or am i missing
something?
Is it safe to rip out subs in mimedefang.pl or are they needed by the c
parts of mimedefang? If im not going to use any of the spamassassin or
virus scanning software can i safely remove all related subs like
message_contains_virus_sophie()? Is there a list somewhere of which subs
in mimedefang.pl are necessary and mimedefang wont run without? End goal
is i want just an empty shell, that without me writing my own perl subs
it wont be doing, checking, creating, loading, changing anything.
I briefly looked at the mailmunge site, however i would rather maintain
things through the package manager and not do manual make installs.
