Oh how easy life would be if customers just bought services and stopped complaining about missing features ... ;)

OK, here we go ... after some advice from the list, I installed MD to add special filtering capabilities to a customer mailserver. So far so good ... working as originally intended. I.e., filtering mails with a certain maximum size, filtering with a maximum number of recipients, etc ...

I tried to clarify the exact handling and now got the request to have the filters modifiable based on the recipient/sender of the mail (at the customer's site). So, while the default might state that only attachments at 2MB are permitted, [EMAIL PROTECTED] is allowed to send or receive 5MB attachments, whereas [EMAIL PROTECTED] is supposed to receive msgs even if the number of recipient is greater than the default 50.

Now - how would you folks handle this? Problem is the former mailserver (Tobit David) had such features ...

And, can MD handle this "split" logic, i.e. can I "duplicate" the mail, deliver it to certain recipients, whereas I quarantine it to the rest (in case of multiple recipients)?
Gary,

I don't personally use the feature so I'm not going to be able to give you much details, but it sounds like stream_by_recipient() might be what you're looking for. check man mimedefang-filter for more details.

you'll probably also want to look at filter_sender and or filter_recipient to handle the recipient count logic and the file size logic.

hope this helps
