I currently have MIMEDefang setup on a Linux box running as a gateway to my mail server. In my mimedefang-filter, I have some code which will reject certain recipients who are not allowed to receive outside e-mail. I have about 15 e-mails accounts set up in this rule. It works for the most part. When somebody sends an e-mail to all of those e-mail addresses, the filter usually times out and will end up allowing some of the e-mails through. I am not really sure why. I have made changes to my timeout values in Sendmail, but still it times out. The e-mail in question this time was pretty small. The size reported by Sendmail is 28139. Here is one of the errors:

I don't know enough about the access database. If I put each of e-mail address that I don't want through with a REJECT, can I then add a [EMAIL PROTECTED] with an OK below that? Will it reject just those few e-mail address, but allow the rest through for further MIMEDefang processing? _______________________________________________ Visit http://www.mimedefang.org and http://www.roaringpenguin.com MIMEDefang mailing list [email protected] http://lists.roaringpenguin.com/mailman/listinfo/mimedefang
