Exim users, I'm embarking on a project to use Exim as part of an outbound scanning host for clients. I'm hung up on whether or not Exim is well suited for this task, or if we should look at another mail server. The goal of this project is to have clients use us as their outbound relay/smarthost. Mail coming into our system from their IP range/domain name will have to stay on our system, delivering to local mailbox files and/or maildir folders. A program will then come by later on, scan said mail for text qualities (not necessarily spam), and if the mail is good, will then complete the next stage of delivery to the recipient. In essence, I want Exim to be a caching relay. Take in all mail for specified hosts, hold onto it for processing, and deliver when the processing is finished. We likely won't be doing processing as messages come through, but rather using scheduled jobs to check mail via IMAP or equivalent, and then send off the e-mail. I've used Exim for other unorthodox tasks, but this one presents larger challenges in my opinion, and just not sure if Exim is right for this specific task. Has anyone used Exim in this fashion, or have any thoughts on this?
Thanks!
