Thanks for the Tips. I'll have a look at your config. I'm not a programmer, I do know enough perl to be dangerous... I am familiar with scripting and most of the packages involved. Especially Sendmail.
I was actually under the impression that MIMEDefang used ImageMagick already... I'll let you know how I come out -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kevin A.

PerlMagick *can* be used in the mimedefang filter without shelling out since it to the best of my knowledge it is a front end for libmagick and an API written to preclude shelling out. In fact, you can pretty much use any perl module in MIMEDefang since it uses a perl based configuration file, i.e. the subfilter. Anyway, I'm not trying to give a quote for custom programming as much as saying that it doesn't sound like you are a programmer. You might be pleased that someone has solved this before or you might be able to man mimedefang-filter and MIME::Entity but I doubt it. I don't think this is an easy task. I think I could easily kill a few days futzing around with this. But what I would do to start look at all the MIME parts for the mail entity already defined in filter_end(). I believe you can recursively loop through the parts (see the mimedump example in the /examples dir of the MIME-tools subdir). While looping, check each part to see if it contains a tiff file. If it does, dump it to a file and use the perl ImageMagick commands I sent earlier to convert the file to PDF. Then either modify the original message or add the PDF you created as an attachment on the email. I would recommend the latter but it might confuse your users further. James W. Curtis posted some code a while back to replace an email with the reportsafe function that SpamAssassin had. I cleaned up this code a little bit and it's in my filter (http://www.peregrinehw.com/downloads/MIMEDefang/mimedefang-filter-KAM). Search for REPORTSAFE and that might be a helpful starting point.
