Is it possible to make qmail-scanner hold the SMTP-connection while SpamAssassin does it thing, and then, if SA reports the mail as spam or virus-infected, throw a 550-error back at the sender directly, followed by SA's output?
(Hope this is not TOO confusing...)
I think these features are to different to work together. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the incoming SMTP connection is handled by qmail-smtpd and qmail-scanner comes in at the queue level, once the message has been accepted for delivery. Hence, for denying messages at the SMTP level, something like rblsmptd would be used as a helper to qmail-smtpd and if mail passes through the rbl checks, then it goes on to qmailscanner (the queuing mechanism.)
Besides this, I can see nasty security implementations arise in result of throwing SA or other programs into the live internet data path. qmail-smtpd I trust - SA I do not.
