Hi Franz,

I'd be happy to hear about more details... :-)

Just to clarify .. the greet pause option when controlled from mimedefang will let you control ONLY the greet pause option at the time that sendmail usually uses it. It's not possible to delay at any other point in the SMTP flow using this method.

But you can do funky fuzzy like settings not supported by default.

My try at a small howto. This is also an abbreviated example and might not even work, usual disclaimer in place as it might skin your cat :)

Start mimedefang with the "-N inet:[email protected]" option (among them others)

I specifically connect to the ipv4 version of localhost as I can remember that there was some issue with that some time back not sure if it was sendmail or resolver related.

in Sendmail.mc (postfix ur on ur own :)
FEATURE(`access_db',`socket -T<TMPF> inet:11111@localhost')dnl

In mimedefang-filter

create a function like the one below


sub filter_map {
 my ($mapname, $tmp) = @_;

 if ($mapname eq 'access') {
        my ($action, $client) = split(':', $tmp);
        if ($action eq 'greetpause') {
                if (clientIsNice($client)) {
                        return ("OK", 0);
                }
                if (clientIsEvil($client)) {
                        return ("OK", 15);
                }
                return ("NOTFOUND", "");
        }
 }
 return ("NOTFOUND", "");
}

The "OK" signifies that this milter knows the answer and the answer is returned in seconds to delay. The NOTFOUND MUST (2nd argument is ignored) be returned or sendmail ends up waiting for timeouts etc .. at least it did last time I checked. Sending not found will also allow the setting in sendmail.mc (FEATURE(`greet_pause', `1000')dnl 1 seconds) to have some effect :)

Note socket map is pretty picky about what can be sent, so your mileage may vary.

Hope it helps
