Postfix-Amavisd quarantined mail inspection
Hello, I am using postfix, amavisd-new, spam assassin, clamav on a gateway system. A short question (I know it's a bit off-topic but I know that people here run similar systems): I've read how to release and/or forward quarantined mail. But can I read the quarantined mails in situ (i.e. in the quarantine directory)? Can I use some utility to display it in human-readable form and examine details (headers, subject, etc.) so I can decide whether it should be released or not? Thanks, Nick

If the quarantine is a maildir, each message is in a separate file. Any pager or viewer or editor can view it. I like mc(1), which has file management bundled with a viewer and editor. If you need more than the plaintext payload, such as MIME decoding and/or HTML rendering (the latter might not be a good idea with spam and virus suspects), you can open the maildir in any MUA which can read a maildir. (You might want to open the maildir in a read-only mode, so as to avoid moving the messages and possibly upsetting the amavisd-new quarantine mechanism.) And of course the amavisd-new list would be a better place to follow up. -- http://rob0.nodns4.us/ -- system administration and consulting Offlist GMX mail is seen only if /dev/rob0 is in the Subject:

Cat works for me - but all on the amavis list. I believe there's a command for it. Simon
