I am using sieve for end-user mail filters.
However, for this particular requirement, I need to do some site-wide
processing *before* Cyrus gets the message. The only sieve
implementation I've been able to locate in RHEL5 is part of Cyrus.
If there is another package (included in RHEL5) that implements
sieve, that also has a milter interface, that would work.
There are a number of technical reasons (that go way beyond the scope
of this mailing list) that push me in the direction of a milter-based
solution. I haven't found any milter-based packages included in the
RHEL5 distribution, other than the milter libraries in the sendmail-
dev package.
There are also possible solutions based on LMTP that I'd rather
avoid. Send me a personal e-mail off the list if you have any
suggestions along these lines.
Basically, I just need to know if there are any redhat-supported
milter framworks.
As a side note, it seems like this is a big hole in the RHEL5
distribution. Does Red Hat not intend for users to have virus and/or
spam filters (at least ones supported by RedHat), if they set up a
sendmail/cyrus mail server? Procmail and cyrus really don't play
well together, so anything that requires procmail is a non-starter
(without doing painful gyrations) when you use a black-box cyrus
server as your mailstore.

Have you considered sieve? It's included with RHEL 4 and RHEL 5.

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.
