Great! :)

One problem remains, though - maybe you should make that very clear in
the docs (or even in the install script): If the mail server where
qmail-scanner is installed is relaying for a group of IPs, the viruses
can (and do) forge mail envelope addresses.

When somebody here gets infected by Klez (for example), the virus uses
random MAIL FROM: and RCPT TO: addresses and all these people get
spammed with warnings by qmail-scanner - although often they don't have
anything to do with the virus, and are not [af|in]fected.


What I would like to have is a version of qmail-scanner that can
also act on the IP the mail was received from, not only the mail
envelopes. I have seen $TCPREMOTEIP and other variables in the perl
script but I don't seem to be able to figure out where to put my
extensions.

(I want to call an external program with the IP or hostname, which then
uses snmpget to block the hub port of the infected machine.)


How do I do this?
