Our site is well protected by mimedefang/spamassassin/clamav/file-scan etc, but unfortunately the powers-that-be insist on allowing people to access other external mail servers via socks. The result is that we get all sorts of undesireable email completely bypassing the mail server. Is there any way of linking the socks server with mimedefang? Or is there another product that will do the job?
SOCKS with MIMEDefang? Nope, not gonna work.
I assume you're talking about accessing external POP and/or IMAP servers? I assume so because I can't think of *any* good reason to not force outgoing mail through your own SMTP servers -- it's just too easy, and should have next to no impact on your users other than a configuration change.
Depending on what you want to do, there are several client-side products that will do spam and/or virus checking, if you're not looking to get too fancy. Off the top of my head, though, I can't think of any anywhere near as thorough and flexible as what you'd get with MIMEDefang.
