Tony, Though your advice makes sense but I am more interested in the direct approach of a server side smtp Content filter, reason being that bcc mailbox is not allowed on the target server where solution will be deployed.
Thanks Ashish From: Tony Nelson [mailto:tnel...@starpoint.com] Sent: Wednesday, November 21, 2012 7:50 PM To: Sharma, Ashish Subject: Re: C/C++ based Content filter API Personally I would use the Postfix always_bcc ( http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#always_bcc ) and then process the mailbox using traditional Unix tools such as procmail, formail, etc. Without knowing a lot more about what you do there isn't a lot I can actually suggest. Having written a Postfix filter (in Java) I'd suggest against doing that unless you a confident in your network programming skills. If any part of the Postfix pipeline crashes or misbehaves, Postfix will start queuing up mail, and if you have any volume you can get behind rather quickly. Pushing the mail out to another mailbox with always_bcc allows you to write code that won't be part of the pipeline. Hope this is helpful.

I am using Postfix as mail receiving server and, for mail parsing I am planning to use Gmime (http://spruce.sourceforge.net/gmime/), The real problem here I am facing is that I am unable to find a good C/C++ based Content filter api, as one is provided in java like 'subethasmtp' (http://code.google.com/p/subethasmtp/). Can someone suggest one please? Thanks in advance!!! Ashish ________________________________ Since 1982, Starpoint Solutions has been a trusted source of human capital and solutions.
