Hi Kai
I have no plans to add this feature. I don't like
it for viruses, they almost always have faked
return-path and it will cause a lot of traffic
for the remote server that is not guilty, for the
spam is near the same but if all the servers
where properly configured they won't allow spam,
so the sa-reject feature will cause them some
traffic so the admin may configure properly his
server or not...
I think it will be easy to modify the routine
reject_email to pass a custom error msg, maybe
the only modification is to change the reject
check in the spamassassin routine, something like
this:
from
&reject_email("We have reasons to believe this mail is SPAM",31);
to
&reject_email("We have reasons to believe this
mail is SPAM","553 Your email is considered spam
($sa_score spam-hits)");
The first field is passed to the logs the second
to qmail-smtpd, but I don't now how the custom
error patch works, so you will have to understad
what it is needed to pass back to qmail-smtpd
For the virus you can add a call with the proper
msg to the reject_email routine some lines after
the line
&debug("There be a virus! ($quarantine_description)");
that is present in all the AV routines.

ST
