Has anyone added a content filter to Postfix under OS X Server?

X Server? Have you implemented your own content filter? Before anyone asks: Wy not just use the Spam Checking Apple includes in Server, the answer is: I want more control than just 'tag and deliver'. -- Vicki Brown cfcl.com/vlb <http://cfcl.com/vlb>

Re: socket: malformed response

Two questions: When qmgr says "socket: malformed response" - is there any way yo find out what response it got? When qmgr says "Connection refused", does that actually mean the filter refused to connect? Or that mgr refused to try the filter? - Vicki

Suggestions for more logging?

I hunted up a better script for running SpamAssassin from postfix and tweaked it for more logging and better errors and I'm still seeing some odd behavior. e.g. from the system log: Nov 17 23:33:14 g3po spamchk[87681]: Spam filter piping to SpamAssassin: /usr/local/bin/spamc -x -E -s 10485760 N

order of actions in postfix

We have an email "toaster" that accepts smtp connections from the Internet, runs some blacklisting checks, discards email to non-existent recipient addresses, then sends all mail on to another server where final delivery takes place. No delivery takes place on the toaster. If possible, I'd lik
