I used Procmail and Postfix in a gateway configuration to accomplish this. Essentially, the mail is received by Postfix that delivers the message to Procmail with the envelope MAIL FROM and RCPT TO. Procmail provides the structure I need to drop in any filtration engine and any AV engine I want. After the desired actions are complete, the message is reinjected back into Postfix for final delivery. Currently, I only perform simple attachment checks at the gateway and AV is performed in the back-end mail store. However, this could easily be modified to include AV scanning (on my to-do list) It also provides the basis for administrative notifications, per-user/global tagging for spam etc. It will provide the functionality you need to have mail scanned prior to delivery. Additionally I developed a Webmin module to manage, report, parse Postfix/Procmail logs, quarantine, etc. So if you are looking for a mail processor use a mail processor. I would agree that a daemon would be more efficient but it also tends to be more static than a script. The site recipe can grow to do whatever you need it to do. --Larry ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: VM Ware With VMware you can run multiple operating systems on a single machine.
