Hi. I've recently set up a sendmail/cyrus-imapd based e-mail server
using RHEL5.
The purpose of this e-mail is to ask if anyone knows of any milter-
based frameworks that are included with the RHEL5 distribution. To
be clear, I am asking a question about packages available on RHEL5 -
the sendmail/cyrus-imapd related information below should be read as
background information only.
The main reason I'm using RHEL is for the whole "n years of updated
packages" thing. I would prefer to use something provided (and
supported) by Red Hat. I don't want to have to worry about a 3rd-
party RPM losing support in 2 or 3 years, and then either having to
change my configuration around, or risk going without potentially-
important patches.
Some background: I would like to do some global processing of
incoming e-mails, before they are given to Cyrus. The processing I
need to do is straightforward regular expression stuff. It appears
that the best way to do this is to use the milter interface for
sendmail, and one of the many quality packages that provide a
framework around milter.
I have identified a number of different packages, any of which I
believe would fit my needs (ClamAV, MIMEdefang, amavisd-new, etc.).
However, it does not appear that any of them are part of the RHEL5
distribution (or perhaps I'm just subscribed to the wrong RHN
channels...).
Procmail would work IF there was a milter-based interface to it
supplied with RHEL5. But I cannot find one in the channel lists I
have searched (and I don't know that one even exists, anywhere). For
a variety of reasons, I cannot use procmail as a delivery agent with
the setup I have.
Spamassassin would work, and is included in the RHEL5 distribution.
However, I cannot find a package that implements a Spamassassin
milter interface that is included with RHEL5 (many of them exist -
they just do not appear to be part of RHEL5). It appears that the
RHEL5 distro only supports (without 3rd party RPMs) spamassassin
through procmail.
With that said, does anyone know of a milter-based package with some
configurability, that is included with RHEL5? If there isn't one,
I'll grab a 3rd party RPM of one of the above packages. But I'd
really rather find something supported by RedHat as part of RHEL5.
