David,

You are right about the global variable, should have read the section more thoroughly.

Cheers the code sample works like a charm.

Thanks

Andrew

But the problem is that you should only use the read_commands_file()
in filter_sender() or filter_recipient().

That's a problem?

I just wanted to avoid a global variable.

You don't need a global variable.  Setting a global variable in
filter_sender wouldn't work anyway; read the mimedefang-filter(5) man page
carefully, especially the GLOBAL VARIABLE LIFETIME section.

Instead, do something like:

sub filter_begin {
     my ($entity) = @_;
     my $authenticated = ($SendmailMacros{'auth_type'}&&  
$SendmailMacros{'auth_authen'});

     # Do virus scanning here

     if (!$authenticated) {
         # Do spam-scanning here
     }
}

Regards,

David.
