Even though I don't play with reg expressions very much I'm actually pretty decent / good with perl and shouldn't have to much problems with writing a script to filter out some key words or phrases. The part I need help with is how to make qmail-scanner aware of my new script, how qmail-scanner will send data to my script, and what sort of error codes and information qmail-scanner expects back from me? We do have a development mail server which is where I do all my testing and development. Only once it's been thoroughly tested will we even think of implementing on our production email servers.
