Hi Ted thanks for the reply.
I have 2 qmail processes running so local machines sending mail do not
have any delay when the mail is being sent to the server as
qmail-scanner must finish processing before the e-mail client is given
the ok.
If I go with your suggestions then I can't run 2 copies of Qmail if I
only want incoming mail scanned. Firstly if I remove 127.0.0.1 from my
allow list then the second Qmail won't expect connections from the
first. So to overcome this I have 2 qmail-scanner-queue.pl files. The
first does spam and excepts connections on port 25 from everyone (still
no delay. Qmail scanner will have nothing to do for local clients so
sending is just as quick as having no script. i.e. no virus scan or spam
for local machines, spam from external) and the second just does virus
scanning (all traffic is still virus checked). This seems to work fine
but there has to be a better solution. Isn't there a nice peace of perl
that could be added to the script? What happens if you use fetchmail to
get your local mail! Then internal and external won't be spam checked.
If you disable the return if (defined($ENV{'RELAYCLIENT'})); line in the
qmail-scanner-queue script then incoming and outgoing mail gets spam
checked. If someone is running qmail scanner on the receiving end with
fast_spamassasin mode and the message has been sent via
verbose_spamassasin then the mime types get corrupted! This is why I am
trying to come up with a better solution. So far the 2 script scenario
seems to do the job but its seems a messy way to do it. If I knew perl I
am sure I could work something out but I don't. I am sure instead of
checking for the environment relay variable a better solution exits to
overcome this flaw.
Thanks,
Dan
