Hi Cami, > Why do you want to change Policyd internals?
I just wanted to know if it was possible to increase the length of the email address that policyd could handle from around 60 characters to 120 characters. > What issue? The issue I'm having is with maillists, as Leonardo mentioned. I could very easily add them manually to Postfix, but I wanted to see about keeping everything within policyd if at all possible. One example is that I occasionally get those irritating "Cruise Critic" emails, with the "from" of: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I was hoping to use the blacklist_sender for that, either blocking the entire address, or just "@listserv.independenttraveler.com", but it would appear that the length of the email address is too large for policyd to handle. I have added "@listserv.independenttraveler.com" to the blacklist_sender, but since policyd sees it as such: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ...it doesn't reject the email based on the blacklist, it greylists it, which eventually gets through. >> Are there any reasons why policyd might not be able to handle email >> addresses of this length (size/data handling constraints, etc)...? > > Speed, stability, security. If the three "S"s are what I'd be sacrificing by having the character limit increased from 60 to 120, then don't worry about my request. Again, I don't mind adding them manually to Postfix (policyd already does an amazing job of stopping a majority of the spam that hits my server), I just wanted to see if it was possible, what gains/losses there would be, and just try to keep it all within policyd. Thanks for your assistance. Kind regards, Evan. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
