or was that wishful thinking on my part?
Searching through the archives, I found a thread talking about spamd and SpamAssassin divergence, and some changes to spamd around that. I think I mis-remembered that being about spamd being diverged into its own project. Must have been wishful thinking on my part.
Why? Because what I want is something that has the features of MailScanner (spam assasin + many configurable/pluggable virus scanners + attachment filename rules checking + a few other checks + configurable actions for various things), but with a mechanism like spamc/spamd (per-request with a direct response, instead of dropping it in a directory and then having a completely separate action/process happening when mailscanner is done; plus the ability to spread it across multiple servers). Plus, an option to pass a path+filename instead of passing the actual file through the socket.
This would fit my future environment well (we're moving to a communigate pro dynamic cluster for our email, where being able to separate the mail servers from the spam scanners would be nice, as would having immediate response from the scanner), but I don't really have the time to devote to making my own distribution of something that's sort of a hybrid of mailscanner and spamd.
