Hello,
I just installed the latest version of MIMEDefang on a Redhat WS4 system and
everything seems to be working alright at this point.
I am primarily using it for filtering enclosures sent to a number of
Majordomo email lists and rewriting them to a web server as a reinserted URL.
Works great.
BUT... The problem is that I really don't want to filter out enclosures for
all of the email accounts on my system, just the ones associated with the
email lists. Since MIMEDefang is so tightly integrated with Sendmail, I'm
not seeing how I can tell either MIMEDefang or Sendmail "only filter for
these specific email destinations".
Maybe there's a way I can just invoke MIMEDefang through a pipe in
/etc/aliases instead of hooking it directly into Sendmail?
There's not a way to do run mimedefang from the command line and have it
do something functional, because it is a milter and relies on the contexts
that the sendmail milter API provides. You can do what you want though
with something like this in mimedefang-filter.pl:
sub filter_recipient {
my($recip, $sender, $ip, $host, $first, $helo, $rcpt_mailer, $rcpt_host,
$rcpt_addr) = @_;
my %lists = ( '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' => 1,
'[EMAIL PROTECTED]' => 1);
if ($lists{$recip}) {
return ('CONTINUE', "ok");
} else {
return('ACCEPT_AND_NO_MORE_FILTERING', "$recip is not a mailing list");
}
}
Note though that you also do a similar test before you start stripping
attachments and just not strip attachments from non-list mail.
[ of course I'm sure this is horribly wrong and the more experienced users
will posit many more ways to accomplish this that are better. Luckily the
best way to get the right answer to a question is to post the wrong one :) ]
